Vindicación Feminista (Spanish: Feminist Vindication) was a monthly feminist magazine which was published in Barcelona, Spain, in the period 1976–1979. It is the first feminist magazine established in Spain during the transition from dictatorship to democracy.[1] The magazine was part of the second wave feminism.[2]

History and profile

[edit]

Vindicación Feminista was founded by Lidia Falcón and Carmen Alcalde in 1976.[2] The first issue of the monthly magazine appeared in July that year.[1] Both founders also served as the editor-in-chief of the magazine of which the contributors were all women journalists.[2] They were the advocates of the radical and gendered activism and adopted the view of Kate Millett: the personal is political.[1][2] The magazine was a supporter of abortion and harshly criticised and ridiculed Telva, a women's magazine which opposed the legalization of abortion.[3]

Although the magazine was the illustrative feminist publication for the transition period,[4] it ceased publication in December 1979 after producing a total of thirty issues due to financial constraints and lower levels of readership.[1][2]
