Queen Letizia wears red for an act of tribute to Clara Campoamor

12/4/2021

The Queen of Spain presided over an act of tribute to Clara Campoamor, at the Congress of Deputies, Madrid.

Clara Campoamor Rodríguez 1888 -1972 was a Spanish politician and feminist who is best known for her advocacy for women's rights and suffrage during the writing of the Spanish Constitution of 1931. Campoamor's advocacy led to the inclusion of constitutional language that sought to guarantee equality between men and women.

The Congress begins celebrations of the 90th anniversary of the approval of the female vote in Spain with a tribute to Clara Campoamor. Campoamor's desk and some personal belongings, donated to Congress, have been moved to the room of the Palace that bears her name.

After the initial greetings, Her Majesty saw a bust of Clara Campoamor, her desk, documents and personal items from her office. Later in the 'Salón de los Pasos Perdidos' (Hall of Lost Steps) successive interventions took place by the First Vice President of the Government and the Presidents of the Senate and Congress who highlighted the importance of paying tribute to Clara Campoamor.
