Abstract
Although many publications have been written on the Spanish Civil War, the health issue has been the subject of relatively little study. Nonetheless, there are good jobs which highlight the role of women at that time in the field of health. The complexity of this venture is great, since the analysis must be two-fold: on the one hand, the so-called National Spain and, secondly, the Republican Spain. The Civil War represented for women a time of mobilization and active participation through several women organizations and therefore the construction of the history of nurses and midwives in this historical juncture is a part of the history of women and in some ways, the writing of the history of women is yet to be finished.
