Sumario:The anticlerical violence that occurred in response to the 1936 coup d’état has been analysed mainly from a masculine perspective. Historiography has attributed to men the main role of executioners in the Republican-rearguard iconoclastic and clerophobic actions. Although there is no doubt that men were mostly in charge of those actions, those studies have also insisted on the «passivity» with which women acted. They were represented as impotent figures who watched passively and surprised, while the protagonists masculine acted. Their participation in these acts of violence has even been directly compared to that of the children. However, at the end of the war, women were also accused by the dictatorship of participating in that anticlerical violence, as reflected in the summary trials dictated by Franco’s military courts. This paper analyses both the female performance in those actions, and the violence the Regime exercised on women, focusing on those who were prosecuted, imprisoned and sentenced –in some cases to the maximum penalty– for their actions against the Church in the summer of 1936. A detailed analysis of the trials reveals the nature of the crimes the dictatorship attributed to women and whether their gender was taken into account when being prosecuted for their involvement in anticlerical acts that have been, and continue to be, assigned to men
