Carmen de Burgos  (1867-1932)

Carmen de Burgos (pseudonym Colombine, Gabriel Luna, Perico el de los Palotes, Raquel, Honorine and Marianela ) is one of the most important and influential woman in the first third of the XX Century in Spain. She played many parts during her life: teacher, pedagogue, journalist, war correspondent, traveller, lecturer, free mason, human rights advocate and most of all women’s rights suffragist. She wrote hundreds of articles, more than 50 short stories, some dozen long novels and numerous short ones, many practical books for women, and socially oriented treatises on subjects such as divorce. Her legacy and works were completely censured during the Franco Regime where school text books did not mention her at all. This did not change until the arrival of Democracy.

Carmen was a separated and emancipated woman. Her progressive and feminist ideas over divorce and the situation of women in society put her up against the most conservative parts of Spanish society. Carmen participated in many literature activities and would become member of different associations such as the Spanish Author association and other writers, artists and journalists organisations and the Scientific community of Madrid. Carmen intervened in several political acts and gave conferences on the subject of women in journalism together with Emilia Pardo Bazán. In 1904, she had led a campaign to improve the availability of divorce. In 1906, Carmen de Burgos became the first female professional journalist in Spain as editor of Madrid's Diario Universal. She also served as the first president of the International League of Iberian and Latin American Women. 

Carmen joined the Radical Republican Socialist party; she worked for women's rights and the right to vote. The II Republic's recognition of women's right to vote was the culmination of Carmen's work after long years of struggle. She was very ill but she never stopped working in the Women's Crusade and in her Party, but her heart could not keep up the pace. In 8 October 1932 while participating in a round table organized by the Radical Socialist party on education Carmen suffered her last heart attack. The Spanish Civil War and the long dictatorship were her real death, her novels topped the black lists of prohibited authors. (x)(x)

75 grandes mujeres que rompieron barreras para hacer historia

Fueron físicas, astrónomas, matemáticas, investigadoras, filósofas... cuando no podían serlo. Cuando se les negaban todas las posibilidades por el hecho de ser mujer.

En 1907 por iniciativa de Jane Inglis Clark se funda en Escocia el primer club femenino de montaña en el mundo, el Ladies Alpine Club, llegando a tener hasta 120 miembros exclusivamente mujeres.

Las escaladoras y alpinistas Pauline Ranken y Lucy Smith fueron miembros del Club escocés de Escalada Femenino. En la foto capturada en 1908 se puede ver como se escalaba en parejas, y la forma como se aseguraban ante las caídas, con una única cuerda y mucha maña.

En 1955 formaron el equipo de mujeres que participó en la primera expedición femenina a los Himalayas.
