Abstract

Women and militancy in Spanish anarchism (1931-1936)

The article analyzes the militant participation of anarchist women in the organizations where their presence was most significant during the Spanish Second Republic: CNT, Juventudes Libertarias, FAI and the Libertarian Universities. Relying on oral sources, the study explores the stories of their lives, the reasons for the scant presence of women in confederate Trade Unions and their preference for Libertarian Universities. At the same time and as a result of their involvement in the activities of these groups, these militant women came in contact with anarchist groups and joined Juventudes Libertarias, FAI and Mujeres Libres.
