Through a collective biography, the work narrates how these women, in a context of strong patriarchal hegemony, educated themselves, developed a social consciousness, and organized to claim a space of their own. The account culminates in the Second Republic, a period of maximum splendor for worker consumer cooperatives, only to be silenced by the Francoist dictatorship. A necessary tribute to an emancipatory experience that deserves to be rescued from oblivion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book focuses on the history of the Agrupació Femenina de Propaganda Cooperatista, a collective of working women who, during the first decades of the 20th century, organized to defend their rights within the Catalan cooperative movement. The work describes their process of developing consciousness, training, and self-organization in a context of strong patriarchal domination, where they fought to be visible and recognized both by society and by their own male colleagues. It explains how, after three decades of effort, they achieved their goal during the Second Republic, coinciding with the period of greatest growth for worker consumer cooperatives. However, their contribution, described as beautiful and brilliant but brief, was erased by the beginning of the Francoist dictatorship, which condemned these emancipatory experiences to silence. The book not only narrates these events but also pays tribute to the memory of those women who played a fundamental role in the cooperative movement and, by extension, in the entire Catalan labor movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eHistory of the Catalan cooperative movement and its women's branch.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe struggle of working-class women for visibility and autonomy in the trade union and labor sphere.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe organization and self-management of women as a tool for social emancipation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe impact of patriarchy on social movements of the early 20th century.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eHistorical memory and the recovery of experiences silenced by the Francoist dictatorship.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at readers interested in social history and the labor movement, especially in the history of women and feminism.

Its focus on the Agrupació Femenina de Propaganda Cooperatista sheds light on a poorly documented episode, offering a narrative that combines historical rigor with a clear commitment to the memory of working-class women. The book is especially valuable for those seeking to understand gender dynamics within historical social movements and resistance strategies against the oblivion imposed by the dictatorship. It is an essential read for specialists and for any reader interested in the roots of feminist and cooperative activism in Catalonia.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"COSSETÀNIA EDICIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53405098574171,"sku":"9788413561950","price":12.8,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1018\/0650\/6331\/files\/978841356195.jpg?v=1781823391","url":"https:\/\/kalamobooks.com\/en\/products\/9788413561950","provider":"Kalamo Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
