THE ARRIVAL OF WOMEN AT CARRERA DE SAN JERONIMO: A BALANCE OF THE INTERVENTIONS OF THE WOMEN MEMBERS OF THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY OF PRIMO DE RIVERA (1927-1930)

In October 1927, the National Assembly of the Primo de Rivera Dictatorship was created. It was a consultative political body that was in charge to prepare a new Spanish Constitution. Sixteen women were part of the Assembly during its period of operation (until February 15, 1930), although only eleven actively participated in its plenary sessions and commissions. The analysis of their interventions and the assessment of their normative achievements allow us to have more data to discern whether this arrival of the first women to the parliamentary seat, despite not having been democratically voted, effectively contributed to the advancement of the women's rights, or if, on the contrary, they were part of a strategic gear of a propagandistic and electoral nature.
