A realidade socieal e vivencial da muller urensá a comezos de século (1900-1930)

Abstract

In this article we analyse the social framework which sorrounded the woman from Ourense at the beginning of this century, determining her social image, constantly subjected to criticism and debate, probably due to the importance attached to her as a reference for a new kind of society. In short, the press echoed the preoccupation or support to the ideas of change sorrounding women, making clear that in Ourense the idea of a "new" woman was going to gain ground very slowly, while a more traditional concept about her still persisted.
