Biography
Ángeles López de Ayala y Molero was born in Seville, Spain, on September 21, 1858. Her ideas were based on supporting a republic (a country led by elected officials, not a king). She also believed strongly in women's rights (feminism) and was part of a group called Freemasonry.
She worked with other important women like Teresa Claramunt and Amalia Domingo Soler. Together, they started the Sociedad Autónoma de Mujeres de Barcelona in 1892. This group is thought to be the very first organization for women's rights in Spain.
Later, in 1898, she helped create another group called the Sociedad Progresiva Femenina. Ángeles López de Ayala was a strong supporter of women's rights. She believed that women needed to be free from the control of the church and from men. She passed away in Barcelona on January 29, 1926.
