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.
