Abstract
This essay focuses on the representation of women in comics about the Civil War. It consists of two parts: the first reviews the works that give women a leading role in the war conflict, while the second carries out a detailed textual analysis of the album Cuerda de presas (2005), by Jorge García and Fidel Martínez. Despite being a story that revolves around the experience of women in Franco’s prisons, most critical attention received so far has focused on its relationship with the recovery of the historical memory of the Civil War rather than gender aspects, hence the importance of this analysis.
