| description | The emigration of Galician women remained invisible in the history of migration, especially during Francoism. And yet they did emigrate. Against all odds according to the ideology that the regime imposed upon women, they often emigrated alone. This article traces the migration path of four Galician women from the province of Lugo, between 1940 and 1960, from the pioneer who wanted to emigrate as a child to the youngest who felt it as being forced to do so twenty years later. We try to recover fragments of their invisible journeys from the fragments of the memory they have kept of the trip that led them from Fruxil (Lugo) to Manresa (Barcelona), where they have been working, where they built their families and spent the rest of their lives. The emigration network (re)established by the pioneers plays a key role in the successfulness of their migration, but the singularity of each vital experience will be highlighted as a unique experience of migration in which they are the main actors. Based on four real migrant women, in this case Galician women, the aim of this work is to restore the reality of the migratory experience of thousands of women who participated in the internal migrations under Francoism, one of the most important migratory movements of the 20th century. |
