The Universitat Jaume I has launched the course “The mothers of the Spanish Constitution: building democracy” in Benicàssim, as part of its summer university programme. The course highlights the key role played by women in drafting the 1978 Constitution and promoting gender equality, a contribution long overlooked in public memory. The opening session featured former MPs Dolors Calvet (PSUC) and Ana María Ruiz-Tagles (PSOE), who recalled their experiences during the 1977 constituent legislature. Alongside them were Susana Ros, President of the Equality Commission in the Spanish Congress, and Begoña Carrasco, Mayor of Castelló. Although Teresa Revilla (UCD) could not attend, she sent a message reaffirming her democratic commitment. Calvet and Ruiz-Tagles shared personal stories, including the consensus among women MPs to oppose unequal succession laws, and called for a feminist reform of the Constitution by its 50th anniversary in 2028.

The course was inaugurated by UJI Rector Eva Alcón and Castelló’s Deputy Government Delegate Antonia García Valls, who emphasized the pioneering role of the 27 female MPs in laying the foundations of Spanish democracy and equality. The day also included a lecture by philosophy professor Ana de Miguel, who urged a rethinking of feminist consciousness in response to deeply entrenched societal structures. A screening of the documentary *Las Constituyentes* by Oliva Acosta followed, honouring the first women in Parliament after Franco’s dictatorship. The course continues with talks on feminist theory’s influence on state institutions and legal advancements in gender equality in the 21st century.
