The work offers a rigorous and documented investigation into the repression exercised against aristocrats, bourgeois women, relatives of rebel military officers, and religious women, shedding light on a silenced facet of political persecution in the Republican rearguard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book addresses the history of the \"ladies of Spain\" who suffered the violence of the Popular Front during the Civil War, a diverse group united by their social profile and Catholic faith. The author documents how these women were imprisoned, humiliated, and, in many cases, executed without trial, simply for belonging to the aristocracy or the upper bourgeoisie, being related to military personnel who supported the Uprising, or for being practicing religious women. Through meticulous research, their personal stories, conditions of confinement, and the political context that turned them into victims of systematic persecution are reconstructed. The work not only makes their suffering visible but also analyzes the ideological motivations behind these repressive acts, offering a necessary perspective to understand the complexity of the conflict.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain Topics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ePolitical repression and ideological persecution during the Spanish Civil War.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eGender-based violence in contexts of armed conflict and social revolution.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eHistorical memory of the victims of the Republican side from a female and class perspective.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe role of the Catholic religion as a factor of discrimination and a target of revolutionary hatred.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAnalysis of the Republican rearguard and the functioning of the revolutionary militia.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at readers interested in the contemporary history of Spain, especially the Civil War and political repression.
