Feminism in Democratic Spain
Monday, 2 February, 2026

In this episode, Kathryn Mahaney, author of Feminism, National Identity, and European Integration in Modern Spain: Defining a Democracy, 1960-Present, offers insights on over 60 years of feminist history in Spain from the late Franco regime to the present day. How did the movement emerge from its secret origins during the Franco regime, what were the achievements of and divisions within the movement during the Transition to democracy, and what are the greatest challenges facing the movement today? These are some of the questions that Mahaney addresses as we discuss one of the most central and contested social movements defining Spanish society today.
