About the exhibition:
This exhibition seeks to recover the forgotten history of the Mujeres Libres organization, a
women's group that emerged within the libertarian movement during the year 1936, whose
purpose was to unite working-class women to fight for their emancipation.
With this objective, Mujeres Libres developed a vast program dedicated to raising awareness and raising the
women's culture through education and job training; they intended to do so
overcome what they called the triple slavery of working women: that of their ignorance and that derived from
due to her status as a woman and a worker.
To achieve this, they considered that they had to undertake a double struggle: on the one hand, to end
with the economic and social system that exploited them, along with their companions, in order to
establish a society based on Libertarian Communism, and, on the other hand, end its own
exploitation as women.
Eight decades after the creation of this women's organization, the Foundation of
Libertarian Studies Anselmo Lorenzo through this traveling exhibition, tries to rescue
these women from oblivion by giving them the recognition they deserve, so that their struggle may serve as
experience and learning to the current feminist movement.
The exhibition is made up of 16 panels, as well as sound and audiovisual materials, with
information on the creation and development of the organization, its demands and areas of
performance, his approaches to equality, education, work, sexuality and participation
active that he developed to win the war against fascism.
To this day, the advanced nature of its approaches and actions remains a benchmark in which
see ourselves reflected, it being our duty to maintain that legacy so that it serves as a basis for the
women's struggle to achieve real equality.
