Joaquima Calvó
Joaquima Calvó was a pioneering figure in Andorra's fight for women's rights, particularly known for her efforts in advocating for women's suffrage. After returning from France, she faced obstacles in opening her restaurant due to patriarchal laws requiring her husband's authorization. This injustice ignited her determination to rally other women, including Angelina Mas, to collectively challenge the societal norms of their time. Calvó's activism was instrumental in achieving the vote for women in 1971, marking a significant turning point in Andorran history. Her legacy continues to inspire discussions about gender equality and the ongoing struggles faced by women in society.
