Teresa Claramunt (1862 - 1931)
Wed Jun 04, 1862
Teresa Claramunt, born on this day in 1862, was a Catalan anarcho-syndicalist, feminist, and labor organizer who helped publish the influential radical magazine "El Productor".
Claramunt played an active role in Spanish workers' movements, participating in a 1902 general strike in Barcelona and giving multiple speeches during the Tragic Week of 1909.
Her radicalization began as a textile employee, and she founded an anarchist group in Sabadell which participated in a seven-week strike in 1883. She also authored a text, "La mujer, Consideraciones generales sobre su estado ante las prerrogativas del hombre" (English: The woman, General considerations about her state before the prerogatives of the man), addressing the plight of the woman worker.
