Abstract

The Second Spanish Republic (1931- 1936) brought about the transformation of women into new subjects of citizenship - it was, for the first time, a "Republic of women citizens" - as a result of the legislative reforms introduced by the new government and the Constituent Courts. These reforms led to egalitarian advances, despite the evident continuities, contradictions and limits in gender relations and in everyday life practices. In this text we propose an analysis and reflections on these changes in the context of the Second Spanish Republic, as well as to what extent and with what limits they translated into new values and new egalitarian practices.
