The magazines, a window into trends and culture of the time, are not digitized or readily available outside of Spain, making the journey from UMW a necessary one.<\/p>\n<p>The trip was the capstone of the research team\u2019s semester-long project, \u201cWomen and Charity in Spain,\u201d one of 15 undergraduate research projects for spring 2012 and one of dozens of projects to receive an undergraduate research grant for the spring or summer.<strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Part of a larger project on the evolution of women\u2019s charity from the late 18th- through the early 20th-centuries, this year\u2019s research team examined several Spanish women\u2019s magazines published by the Secci\u00f3n Femenina de la Falange, the fascist women\u2019s organization supported by dictator Francisco Franco.\u00a0 The group from Mary Washington explored how women\u2019s civic activity and charitable work through the Secci\u00f3n Femenina was presented in the weekly and bi-monthly magazines, which also included\u00a0 features typical of women\u2019s publications such as fashion, home decorating, recipes, love advice, child-rearing tips and crossword puzzles.\u00a0\u00a0 Placing the work of the conservative Secci\u00f3n Femenina in the context of women\u2019s civic work and social action, searching for the points of contact and divergence with their more progressive predecessors sets this research apart from other current work, Lewis said.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_48541\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-48541\" style=\"width:

Spain<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In the semester prior to the trip to Madrid, Lewis and the students did preliminary research, worked on data collection techniques and explored background reading on the time period.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis was an amazing experience for me because it gave me so much experience with Spanish and gave me time to work one-on-one with a professor,\u201d said Albrittain, a Spanish major.<\/p>\n<p>This is the second year Lewis has taken a group of students to Spain as a part of her larger research project, though each trip has taken a different focus.<\/p>\n<p>During this year\u2019s trip, the students spent four to five hours each morning at the Biblioteca Nacional de Espa\u00f1a, the National Library of Spain, poring over documents, then used the afternoon to visit museums, exhibits and historic sites.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe students had all these opportunities, mostly unplanned, to see history still alive,\u201d Lewis said, noting an exhibit on women\u2019s history that the students stumbled upon during the trip.<\/p>\n<p>For Lebling, the semester of research and the trip to Spain provided a new perspective on her academic work.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a great experience to be able to take all my knowledge I have been learning in Spanish classes and be able to apply it in real life,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Because of UMW\u2019s undergraduate research grant, the students were able to take the trip without cost as a factor, Lebling explained.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe whole experience has made me feel I definitely belong at Mary Washington,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Lewis and the four students will continue the project this fall to expand their work with the information and data they collected over the summer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe most rewarding thing is being able to include students in my research,\u201d Lewis said. \u201cI can cover a lot more ground in a short period of time with their help.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A group of University of Mary Washington students camped out in a Madrid library, scrolling through decades-old microfilm to learn more
