The strike of the weavers of the Òdena basin in Igualada, in 1881, is a key document for understanding the female labor struggle in the context of Catalan industrialization. This mobilization, led by women textile workers, highlights the social awareness and organizational capacity of the workers in defense of their labor rights. Their inclusion makes visible the role of women in the social history of Catalonia and their contribution to the construction of a fairer and more equal Europe.
