Professor Soledad Luque Delgado and Drs. Aránzazu Borrachero and Aurora G. Morcillo present their research on women’s experiences during the thirty-six year Francoist dictatorship in Spain. Professor Delgado, who teaches phonetics at the Ortega-Marañón Foundation and Middlebury University, speaks from her experience as President of Todos los niños robados son también mis niños (All The Stolen Children Are Also My Children) about the disappearance of an estimated 300,000 babies under the dictatorship. Dr. Borrachero, Associate Professor of Foreign Languages and Literatures at Queensborough Community College, shares findings from her webbased oral history project on Spanish women who became adults and mothers during the dictatorship. Dr. Morcillo completes the panel by arguing that women were powerful agents of change in the modernization of Spain.
