This lecture, commemorating International Women’s Day, will delve into the evolution of women's rights from the late 15th century to the present. Led by historian Carme Mestres Valero, we will examine how major societal shifts in Europe impacted women's roles and whether these changes heralded a true Renaissance for them. The discussion will navigate through the complexities of women's situations during the Ancien Régime and the significant advances made throughout the 20th century, prompting thoughts on whether true equality has been achieved. We invite all to engage in this critical exploration of women's history, share insights, and discuss the ongoing journey toward equality and emancipation.
