Abstract
Between 1931 and 1936, during the Second Spanish Republic, for the first time in our history, a small number of women –so few they could be counted
on the fingers of both hands– held seats in the Parliament through popular election.
This article aims to trace, about the tribute the Congress of Deputies intends to pay them by placing tondos with their portraits in a room of the palace,
the life and professional trajectory of six of these women, specifically within the parliamentary sphere. Their trajectories differed in many aspects, but
they shared a common goal: to defend women’s rights and pave the way for women in all areas of society, and particularly in the public sphere, where
they distinguished themselves as true pioneers.
