Focusing on 'En el infierno: Ser mujer en las c{\'a}rceles de Espa{\~n}a' (1977), the prison memoir of the communist and feminist activist Lidia Falcon, this article draws on theories of trauma, victimhood and memory to interrogate how Falcon navigates questions of (self-)representation and agency through the portrayal of rape and sexualized violence in Franco's women's prisons. Rape, for Falcon, is a multifaceted act that violates both the female body and the collective body politic, while the various manifestations of abuse - 'las modalidades de violacion' - reify sexual and political dominance. By speaking on behalf of the female prison population, Falcon utilizes the collective voice so as to presuppose a collective victimhood that fosters solidarity amongst women and resists subjugation by the masculinist state.",
