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><p>The trip was the capstone of the research team&rsquo;s semester-long project, &ldquo;Women and Charity in Spain,&rdquo; 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><p>Part of a larger project on the evolution of women&rsquo;s charity from the late 18th- through the early 20th-centuries, this year&rsquo;s research team examined several Spanish women&rsquo;s magazines published by the Secci&oacute;n Femenina de la Falange, the fascist women&rsquo;s organization supported by dictator Francisco Franco.&nbsp; The group from Mary Washington explored how women&rsquo;s civic activity and charitable work through the Secci&oacute;n Femenina was presented in the weekly and bi-monthly magazines, which also included&nbsp; features typical of women&rsquo;s publications such as fashion, home decorating, recipes, love advice, child-rearing tips and crossword puzzles.&nbsp;&nbsp; Placing the work of the conservative Secci&oacute;n Femenina in the context of women&rsquo;s 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><figure id=\"attachment_48541\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-48541\" style=\"width:

Spain<\/figcaption><\/figure><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><p>&ldquo;This 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,&rdquo; said Albrittain, a Spanish major.<\/p><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><p>During this year&rsquo;s trip, the students spent four to five hours each morning at the Biblioteca Nacional de Espa&ntilde;a, the National Library of Spain, poring over documents, then used the afternoon to visit museums, exhibits and historic sites.<\/p><p>&ldquo;The students had all these opportunities, mostly unplanned, to see history still alive,&rdquo; Lewis said, noting an exhibit on women&rsquo;s history that the students stumbled upon during the trip.<\/p><p>For Lebling, the semester of research and the trip to Spain provided a new perspective on her academic work.<\/p><p>&ldquo;It 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,&rdquo; she said.<\/p><p>Because of UMW&rsquo;s undergraduate research grant, the students were able to take the trip without cost as a factor, Lebling explained.<\/p><p>&ldquo;The whole experience has made me feel I definitely belong at Mary Washington,&rdquo; she said.<\/p><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><p>&ldquo;The most rewarding thing is being able to include students in my research,&rdquo; Lewis said. &ldquo;I can cover a lot more ground in a short period of time with their help.&rdquo;<\/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
