Clara Campoamor, la sufragista

(Clara Campoamor, the female suffragist) Book not yet available in English

Summary:

When Clara was born, men had a cushy job: women cooked lentils for them, washed their clothes, and ironed their socks. However, women did not have anthing to say or do. Clara considered that leg-pull must finish. She faced all “moustaches and beards” that crossed her path; She did not stop until all the grandmothers, mothers, and aunts of Spain could vote and their voice could be heard.

Comment:

This is a fundamental biographical book to know the history of women’s suffragism in Spain. This is the story of Clara Campoamor, a brave woman who had to make her way from a very young age in a society that was very misogynistic and hard for women. A story of courage and nonconformity that is an excellent example for readers. Its easy reading and appealing images contribute to educating on feminism and gender equality.
