The Castilian and Leonese Deputies before Parliamentarian Procedure of Feminine Suffrage (1931)

Abstract

In this article is analysed the action of the deputies of the nine Castilian and leonese provinces before the parliamentarian procedure of feminine suffrage, paying specific attention to presences and absences in the principal voting (October 1st and December 1st in 1931) that leaded to its approbation, as they have plenty of political signification. We argue that the anti-suffragist deputies of this region could play a more important role than their own number because of the relative inhibition of their political opponents.
