Abstract

During the decade of the 1880s, federal republicanism led by Pi i Margall drew up a series of proposals for regional constitutions that summarised a significant part of the aspirations of this political culture. The enfranchisement of women was the most significant achievement among these goals, although it had not been included in all projects. The origins of the debate about women’s suffrage in Spain might be found in those constitution-making attempts, of which more examples appear in subsequent years and to which historiography has not paid adequate attention.
