00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:08,320
To all strong women out there.

2
00:00:12,300 --> 00:00:13,259
Hello, everyone.

3
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:17,859
My name is Clara Campomor, and I was a Spanish politician, lawyer, and writer.

4
00:00:18,399 --> 00:00:22,359
I am considered by some people the mother of the Spanish feminist movement.

5
00:00:23,579 --> 00:00:25,420
I'm going to tell you my story.

6
00:00:28,739 --> 00:00:30,760
Once upon a time...

7
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:33,340
In Spain, there was a male suffrage.

8
00:00:36,969 --> 00:00:38,570
Women weren't allowed to vote.

9
00:00:40,170 --> 00:00:42,969
It came down to decisions that changed everything forever.

10
00:00:42,969 --> 00:00:45,530
I decided to fight for women's rights.

11
00:00:45,530 --> 00:00:54,469
Yo, señores diputados, me siento ciudadano antes que mujer, y considero que sería un

12
00:00:54,469 --> 00:00:58,329
profundo error político dejar a la mujer al margen de este derecho.

13
00:00:58,329 --> 00:01:01,130
A la mujer que espera y confía en vosotros.

14
00:01:01,130 --> 00:01:06,530
A la mujer que, como ocurrió con otras fuerzas nuevas en la Revolución Francesa, será indiscutiblemente

15
00:01:06,530 --> 00:01:14,609
una fuerza que se incorpora al derecho y no hay sino que empujarla a que siga su camino.

16
00:01:14,609 --> 00:01:17,269
Clara Campoamor.

17
00:01:17,269 --> 00:01:20,629
I was one of the main promoters for women's suffrage in Spain.

18
00:01:21,230 --> 00:01:24,189
This condemned me for the rest of my life in terms of politics.

19
00:01:24,709 --> 00:01:26,469
I had to be alone for the rest of my life.

20
00:01:26,890 --> 00:01:32,349
If you want more information, you can read my book called El Voto Femenino y Yo Mi Pecado Mortal.

21
00:01:35,900 --> 00:01:36,500
The end.
