Abstract
Anarchism in the 19th century and the first third of the 20th century gave central importance to knowledge as an instrument of its emancipatory project. For this reason, the publication of newspapers and magazines formed part of the idiosyncrasy of the Libertarian Movement.
Women, albeit to a lesser extent, participated in this task of "taking the floor" as educators of the people. The magazine Mujeres Libres (1936-1938) was its most important achievement. It was born in May 1936 as a cultural magazine with the long-term aim of creating a women's organisation and, in the short term, as an instrument to recruit and train women workers. The coup d'état of July 1936, the outbreak of the Civil War and the Social Revolution that drove the Libertarian Movement, accelerated the plans and the magazine was transformed into a combat newspaper.
