The Extremaduran writer Carmelo Arribas reviews laws that historically restricted women in 'Sexo Alegal'

The writer tackles the women's fight against the norms that have restricted them throughout history up to their entry into university and managerial positions, the right to vote and their liberty from paternalistic and marital constraints, among other aspects.

EL SEXO A-LEGAL
Redacción Extremadura

Today, women occupy all types of responsibilities and professions, but it hasn't always been like this, until some years ago they couldn't study, work or even vote, for example. In 'Sexo Alegal', the investigator Carmelo Arribas affirms that, according to Roman law, women were prohibited from practising law and recalls that many were tossed into bonfires, accused of witchcraft when in fact they were herbalists.
