Join historian Isabel Segura Soriano as she discusses the Bread Riots that erupted in Barcelona in 1789. This uprising was sparked by a municipal decree announcing a rise in bread prices, a staple food for the population. Women led the revolt, which was met with strong repression but ultimately resulted in a decrease in bread prices, extending the unrest to other towns across Catalonia. Through Isabel's insights, gain a deeper understanding of this pivotal moment in history, reflecting the social tensions and struggles of the time, as well as the role of women in initiating change. This talk will explore not only the events but also their implications on society during that era.
