摘要:This article focuses on the political biographies of two sisters, Claudina and Luz García Pérez, between 1918 and 1931 within the Agrupación Femenina Socialista de Madrid (Women’s Socialist Group of Madrid) and various trade unions linked to the Casa del Pueblo. Their biographies question the stereotype of the male union and political leader by highlighting the importance of the family unit in adopting and maintaining a lifelong commitment to the socialist cause. Moreover, their transgression of the hegemonic gender system highlights the role played by women-only political fora in relation to the formation of female political leaders within regimes in which women were deprived of the right to vote.
