La mujer en el franquismo
Además de todo esto, a las mujeres casadas se les negó el acceso al mercado laboral. Con el Fuero del Trabajo, el Estado reguló el trabajo a domicilio, y sólo podían trabajar las mujeres solteras o viudas subordinadas a los varones. Además, si se casaban, debían firmar su despido voluntario un mes antes del enlace, según lo dictaba la Ley de Reglamentaciones Laborales de 1942, y para acceder a él, dos años después, la Ley de Contratos de Trabajodecía que debían contar con la autorización del marido. Además los sueldos eran más bajos con respecto a los varones. Por todo esto, era difícil para una mujer cabeza de familia sacar adelante su hogar y, aunque existía la cartilla de racionamiento, para los productos de consumo básico, el hambre seguía apretando, no era suficiente la cantidad que recibían para alimentar a toda la familia y muchas recurrieron al estraperlo, cambiando productos, manufacturados por ellas mismas, por alimentos. El estraperlo estaba considerado un delito y acarreaba penas de cárcel y multas.
Anuncios de la época
La familia era una jerarquía en la que la mujer estaba supeditada al varón y los hijos a los padres. La mujer era la que se llevaba la peor parte, pues su labor era la de satisfacer a su marido; debía estar guapa para él, complacerle en todo. La revista de la Seccion Femenina, liderada por Pilar Primo de Rivera, enseñaba a las mujeres a comportarse, siempre supeditadas a la voluntad del varón y dispuestas a complacerlo en todo, sin derechos, sin opiniones, solo sumisión.
Por supuesto que el adulterio de la mujer estaba castigado por el Código Penal, pero no el del varón.

Endangered Species | |
In 1983, Andy Warhol created a series of ten color screenprints that portrayed endangered animals from around the world: Siberian tiger, San Francisco silverspot, orangutan, Grevy's zebra, black rhinoceros, bighorn ram, African elephant, pine barrens tree frog, giant panda and bald eagle. Using brilliant colors -- characteristic of his signature style -- and poignant expressions suggestive of the animal's fate, Warhol creates a dynamic tension between art and reality. The Endangered Species portfolio was commissioned by Ronald and Frayda Feldman, long-time political and environmental activists who support innovative art projects and installations through their art gallery, Ronald Feldman Fine Art, New York. According to the Feldman's, the idea for the portfolio emerged after conversations with Warhol about ecological issues that included a discussion about beach erosion. Warhol was always interested in animals and when Ronald Feldman proposed the idea, the artist embraced it. Today, the loss of habitat and biodiversity are still hot topics as the impact of development reaches critical thresholds. |

In this work, the rigid vertical division is balanced by the direction of the two arrows : the downside , bigger, indicating the Cold sunset , while the heat of the sun is symbolized by the small arrow.
