WOMEN IN THE CARNIVAL OF CÁDIZ. History of an absence

Abstract

The Carnival of Cádiz has usually been written in masculine terms. A very important part of the population has been forgotten. Women demand not only their presence, but also that their absence be made known. The reflection is strong in this article which, with the intention of divulging a vulgar reality, demands that the omitted reality be made public. In this case, it is the women who underwrite an evidence. It is the women of the Cadiz carnival who take the floor, because it belongs to them and they will not be silenced. A feminine journey that was undoubtedly necessary to begin to write or rewrite one of the pages with hardly any lyrics and music (in feminine) of the Cadiz carnival.
