This Note treats of the relation of the women with the first Spanish constitutionalism. We splits for it of a look to the current historiography, later to do a follow-up of the regulations and debates of the Spanish Parliament of every constitutional period (1810-1814 and 1820-1823). Finally, the different answers of the women are analyzed before the discriminatory legislation that implanted for them the Constitution of 1812
