This article sets out to analyse the earliest manifestations of women’s association formation linked to republicanism and the workers’ movement during the Democratic Sexennial. These association movements basically demanded women’s education and their redemption from employment exploitation.
Through their writings and their collective action, by getting up onto podiums and taking the streets with their protests, these “fighters for truth and justice”, as some of them were called by the republican press of that time, timidly reformulated the attributes of household femininity and made some breaches in the unchanging division of spheres.
