Teresa Claramunt, memory and life of a heterodox woman

Abstract

Teresa Claramunt has dared hersef to violate the accepted gender model and values: so, she was a heterodox woman. For controverting the commonly accepted women’s model she developed a vital and personal way of living which was plenty of challenges. Her feminist attitudes were based on her working class experience and therefore they were also heterodox. Because of her social origin, she was away of the educated and liberal profile of Nineteenth Century Spanish feminist leaders. Teresa Claramunt defined the ideological and political basis of the Anarchist and Working Class feminism. Her contributions were clear antecedents of the 1930’s libertarian feminism.
