description

Resumen : Este articulo se propone analizar las primeras manifestaciones del asociacionismo femenino vinculado al republicanismo y al movimiento obrero durante el Sexenio Democratico. Un asociacionismo que reivindicaba basicamente la educacion de las mujeres y su redencion de la explotacion laboral. Estas “luchadoras por la verdad y la justicia”, como las denominaba en algun caso la prensa republicana de la epoca, mediante sus escritos y accion colectiva, subiendo a las tribunas y tomando las calles con sus protestas, reformularon timidamente las atribuciones de la feminidad domestica y abrieron alguna brecha en la invariable division de esferas. Palabras clave : Educacion de las mujeres, republicanismo, internacionalismo, igualdad, derechos, sociabilidad, accion colectiva. Abstract : This article sets out to analyse the earliest manifestations of women’s association formation linked to republicanism and the workers’ movement during the Democratic Sexennial. These association movements basically demanded women’s education and their redemption from employment exploitation. Through their writings and their collective action, by getting up onto podiums and taking the streets with their protests, these “fighters for truth and justice”, as some of them were called by the republican press of that time, timidly reformulated the attributes of household femininity and made some breaches in the unchanging division of spheres. Keywords : Women’s education, republicanism, internationalism, equality, rights. sociability, collective action.
