DESCRIPTION:Dr Roseanna Webster is a Junior Research Fellow at Trinity Col
 lege Cambridge with expertise in the history of modern Spain and its relat
 ionship with the wider world. She is currently completing a book that focu
 ses on women’s activism during the last decades of Franco’s dictatorsh
 ip and its aftermath. The book draws on photographs\, archival sources and
  more than fifty oral history interviews with former activists\, half of w
 hich she conducted herself. It captures the stories of working-class Spani
 sh women who joined together to fight for urban change\, labour rights and
  reproductive and sexual freedoms from the 1950s to the 1980s. In this tal
 k Roseanna will discuss how Spanish women in marginal neighbourhoods trans
 formed their surroundings from the middle to the late twentieth century\, 
 and how their self-perceptions changed in the process. These findings\, sh
 e will argue\, challenge widespread assumptions about both twentieth-centu
 ry feminism and recent Spanish history.
