«Mi pecado mortal: el voto femenino y yo» is the testimony of Clara Campoamor, published by the Andalusian Women's Institute in paperback (276 pp., Spanish).
First-person account by Clara Campoamor of her defence of women's suffrage in the Constituent Cortes of the Second Republic. Campoamor upheld her proposal alone, with the strength of her convictions; she also fought against prostitution, the death penalty and child labour, and her party abandoned her after suffrage was achieved.
Published in 2001.
For readers of Spanish history, politics and gender studies; interested in the Second Republic and the origins of women's suffrage.
Clara Campoamor Rodríguez was a Spanish politician, lawyer and writer, considered by some the mother of the Spanish feminist movement. She was one of the main promoters for women's suffrage in Spain, included in the Spanish Constitution of 1931 in part owing to her advocacy.
