Description: The image of the performance during the presentation “Women and work” at the Catalan Women’s Conference, held at the University of Barcelona in 1976, is a key witness of the feminist awakening in Catalonia. These days were a pioneering space for reflection and vindication of women’s labor rights, at a time when their presence in the professional world was still limited and conditioned by traditional roles. The document shows how Catalan feminism began to articulate with force, demanding equal opportunities, conciliation and recognition. This movement connects with European feminist struggles and with the values of social justice and gender equality that define the European project. The conference marked a before and after in the visibility of women as active political and social subjects.
