The hidden geniusThe project GENOVIFEM inaugurated its activities with a workshop multidisciplinary graduate "The hidden genius: for the visibility of the female contribution yesterday and today".
"There are many contributions of women who deserve to be recognized, giving them the real role they have had in history," said Mari Cruz Díaz de Terán, professor of Philosophy of Law at the University of Navarra. "In the world of law there have been great advances in terms of the presence and activity of women, but there is still a long way to go."
Díaz de Terán, principal investigator of project GENOVIFEM, is studying what women have contributed in the General Codification Commission, a collegiate advisory body in the preparation of pre-legislative and regulatory texts "This body was created in 1843, but it was not until 1972 when Maria Telo, Belén Landáburu, Carmen Salinas and Concha Sierra became part of it, highlighting among their achievements, achieving legal equality for married women in Spain. Their victory was one more test that, since society is made up of men and women, women cannot be left out of the task of legislating".
