The entrance of women in the narrative, which takes place at the end of the Spanish Civil War, limits itself to the pink subgenus, although very soon the first novels of an increasing number of female writers will appear dealing with other subjects. From the early Fifties onwards they will gradually create a realistic novel that although in a veiled manner, will show the reality of the subdued situation of women in the Spain of General Franco.
Carmen Kurtz will start her narrative work in this line and her long career will last until somewhere in the Seventies. Her complaints of the legal, educational, social and economical situation at women, during her public performances as well as through her novels will not pass unaware by censorship; two of her novels were not allowed to be published, many of her paragraphs were to be suppresed and mutilated, and her work was to be very often obstructed. The files of the censorhip of her work that are in the Archivo General de la Administración as well as other related documents show these effects.
