Historical Feminism

This conference invites us to explore the fundamental role of women throughout history, rescuing their leadership, struggle, and care strategies from oblivion. Through three presentations, we will analyze the impact of the feminist movement during the Spanish Transition, the invisible work of women in the Resistance during the Second World War, and the magical-religious practices of ancient Rome to protect mothers and infants. 🏛️

Speakers and topics

• Sandra Blasco Lisa: Will analyze the plural feminist movement that emerged during the late Franco period and the Transition, challenging the model of womanhood imposed by the dictatorship.
• Diego Gaspar Celaya: Will make visible the commitment of thousands of women, including many Spanish women, who operated in the underground within resistance networks in occupied France.
• Lidia González Estrada: Will explore how vulnerability during pregnancy and childhood in ancient Rome gave rise to complex magical and care strategies.
