Abstract
In the beginning of the XX century a feminist and republican movement made history in Portugal. In a country where there was no tradition of feminine participation in public life an elite of highly cultured, courageous and strong-minded women came suddenly out of the shadows, with the support of republican leaders, in defense of democratic ideals, like education for all, equal civil laws and universal suffrage.
Key words
Feminism. Gender. Equality. Suffragists. Portuguese Women. Republic of Portugal
