The Potential of Local Women's Associations in Andalusia: Pursuing Culture, Enriching Lives and Constructing Equality

This article examines the development of local women's associations in Andalusia, documents their goals and actions, and gauges the impact of women's policy agencies on them. Women in Andalusian associations pursue culture and share one another's lives. Associations foster women's social equality and receive assistance from women's policy agencies, yet they do not demand greater participation in institutional and protest politics. These findings prompt a new understanding of women's movements in Spain and worldwide.
