Abstract

This article contends that the movement in favour of the rights of women in Spain during the first third of the twentieth century was integrated into several international networks. Three exchanges are analysed between, on the one hand, the women socialists and suffragists in Spain, and, on the other, the international networks built up by the German socialist Clara Zetkin, the suffragists of the International Woman Suffrage Alliance and the Portuguese feminist Ana de Castro Osório. Scrutiny of these ‘intercrossings’ reveals that, despite their ‘asymmetrical’ outcomes, the demand for the social and political rights of women surpassed national boundaries and had a transformative impact on all the parties involved.
Este artículo sostiene que el movimiento por los derechos de las mujeres en España durante el primer tercio del siglo XX estuvo integrado en diversas redes internacionales. Aquí se analizan tres de estos contactos, por un lado, los establecidos entre las socialistas españolas con la líder alemana Clara Zetkin; por otro, los mantenidos entre las sufragistas con la International Woman Suffrage Alliance y, por último, los habidos entre Carmen de Burgos y la feminista portuguesa, Ana de Castro Osório. El estudio de estos ‘intercrossings’ revela que a pesar de sus resultados ‘asimétricos’, la reivindicación de derechos sociales y políticos para las mujeres superó las fronteras nacionales y tuvo un impacto transformador sobre todos los grupos implicados.
