Keywords:
Spain, women, gender identity, catholicism, political culturesAbstract
In the sixties, two Catholic organizations with prestige and power offered possibilities of action and behavior rules to the Spanish middle class women: Opus Dei and Catholic Action. First, both reproduced discourses and practices of gender hierarchy, in accordance with the National Catholic political culture. However, the Women of Catholic Action had a clear evolution towards emancipated and critical positions with power, leading to a reformulation of gender identities in the Second Vatican Council political culture. The women’s section of Opus Dei’s defended thesis of fundamentalist National Catholic political culture, a discourse of domesticity and a practice of subordination to men in order to offer a traditional Catholic women identity in modern appearance.Downloads
