Teresa Azpiazu
(1862-1949)
She was born in Cadiz and received her academic training in France. At the age of 18 she opened a private educational centre and from the age of 24 she dedicated herself to public education. In 1901 she moved to Malaga after winning a position as a Numerary Professor of Letters at the Escuela Normal Superior de Maestras in the city, which she directed between 1914 and 1926 (a position she left for health reasons). She gained great prestige as a teacher, always defending the education of the lower classes and the role of women. She taught Victoria Kent, whom she may have influenced in her struggle as a woman.
María Zambrano
(Vélez-Málaga)
María Zambrano was one of the best philosophers in Spain. During the Civil War, she collaborated with the Republican side and, after the war ended, she was forced to go into exile. She lived in various cities, such as Paris, New York and Havana, and finally settled in Mexico, where she taught Philosophy at the University of San Nicolás de Hidalgo in Morelia. In 1981 she received the Prince of Asturias Award. She was also named an honorary doctor by the University of Malaga and in 1988 she became the first woman to receive the Cervantes Prize.
Pepa Flores "Marisol"
(4th february 1948)
Pepa Flores, known artistically as Marisol, was a famous Spanish singer and actress born on February 4, 1948 in Malaga. She began her career at an early age and became very popular in the 60s and 70s, especially for her participation in films and light music records. Marisol was considered a symbol of youth and optimism in post-war Spain. Her innocent image and great talent led her to be a star in both film and music.
Victoria Kent
(Málaga)
Victoria Kent moved to Madrid in 1920 to enroll in law school (despite the fact that at that time it was not common for women to leave the family home) and was the first woman to register with the Madrid Bar Association, in 1925. She was also the first to practice law before a military court and one of the first women to enter politics: she won a seat as a deputy in the constituent Cortes for the Radical Socialist Party in Madrid in 1931.
Ana Carmona
(1908 - 1940)
She was a Spanish footballer who played as a midfielder. She was nicknamed "Nita" and "Veleta". In the 1920s, she dressed up as a male to be able to play on male football teams. She played successfully for a while, but when she was discovered to be a woman, she was attacked and punished with house arrest.
Amalia Heredia y Livermore
(1830-1902)
Amalia Heredia Livermore had a great interest in natural sciences. She was a great promoter of scientific study and dissemination in her time. In particular, she stood out for her support for the creation of the Museum of Natural Sciences in Madrid, contributing to the development of science in Spain. In addition, she was an active member of the Society of Friends of the Country of Malaga and participated in various initiatives related to scientific research, especially in areas such as botany and zoology.
