The Lyceum Club Femenino was founded in 1926 and represents the first feminist association in Spain. Created in a context of repression, it became a meeting and debate place regarding women's rights. Among its members were prominent figures such as Victoria Kent and Clara Campoamor.
The club was fundamental in the fight for equality at a time when women faced severe social and legal limitations. This commemoration seeks to remember its legacy and acknowledge the historical effort of those who fought for rights that are now considered basic.
The exhibition includes panels, photographs, and documents that reflect this rich history and the contributions of women to the culture and politics of Spain.
