- Abstract
In the first half of the 20th century, the Spanish state created mechanisms that reinforced and underpinned a gender model based on inequality between men and women in agriculture and the rural world. Using various historical sources such as regulatory documents, statistical publications and the press of the time, this article offers a broad overview of the agrarian policies developed during this period. The aim is to demonstrate how the progressive implementation of the capitalist system in the Spanish countryside brought with it the application of a series of public intervention and social reform measures that contributed to the creation of an ideal model of rural women based on their subordination to men. This phenomenon, which was more or less shared by the countries of the Western world, had a particular evolution in the Spanish case. Franco's dictatorship, through its policy of autarchy and colonisation, intensified the presence of political power in agriculture and at the same time reinforced gender roles in this sector and in the rural world.
