This project investigates the progress of Spanish women filmmakers and their films that have served as critical discourse in the social construction of women's identities and rights within the historical context of the post-Franco era in Spain. These filmmakers use the institution of the cinema as a medium of critical discourse on the changes in Spanish society. The films of Josefina Molina (Función de noche [1981], Lo más natural [1990], Santa Teresa de Jesús [1984]), Cecilia Bartolomé (Vámonos Bárbara [1977] y Después de…, [1979]), Pilar Miró (Tu nombre envenena mis sueños [1996] y Beltenebros [1991]), Iciar Bollain (Te doy mis ojos [2003] y Mataharis [2007]) y Pilar Távora (Yerma [1998]) are analyzed as feminist critical discourse that aims to criticize the patriarchal hegemony. This research provides insight into the historical evolution of women through the protagonists in their films, social change, and the transformative representation of contemporary post-Franco women in Spain. / A Dissertation submitted to the Department of Interdisciplinary Humanities in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of
