Abstract

The figure of Teresa Mañé Miravent (1865-1939) is crucial for understanding the political conglomerate and the construction of anarchist ideology in the interlude between the 19th and 20th centuries. Through a discursive analysis, this article will delve into the complexity of the feminist concept among anarchists. According to historiography, anarchists rejected this concept and movement until the second half of the 20th century. This research will demonstrate that there were indeed anarchists who supported it, at least until 1902-1903, a time when feminism internationally embraced suffragism as a means of social transformation.
