Abstract
The Beginnings of Opus Dei among University Women: Zurbarán Hall of Residence (Madrid, 1947-1950): Historical study of the first three years of the Zurbarán Hall of Residence, run by women of Opus Dei in Madrid. It highlights the differences between this initiative and the female residential tradition in pre Civil War Spain. It also explains the differences between the spirit which moved Zurbarán and that which prevailed in the university halls of residence restored in Spain from 1942-43 onwards. The diffusion of the message of Opus Dei among women (university students or not), in and from the Zurbarán residence, is also described. Keywords: Opus Dei - Woman - Hall of residences - Madrid - 1947-1950
