This work, using a methodology based on the analysis of testimony, aims to bring visibility to virtually unknown women who played an important role in the context of Spanish exile in the twentieth century as a result of the Civil War. These women were often overshadowed, either because they were the partners of more famous men or because their dedication to caregiving responsibilities pushed their artistic vocations and development into the background. The article addresses the case of María Victoria Iniesta, whose testimony stands out for bringing together various aspects of musical training, theatrical performance, and interpersonal connections in the development of an artistic network that included both figures who achieved celebrity status and those who did not.
