By the first third of the twentieth-century, feminism in Spain is an early social movement full of conflicts and contradictions. Margarita Nelken, writer and diehard defender of women rights, reports the clash between different ways of understanding feminism in her theoretical works La condición social de la mujer en España (1919) and En torno a nosotras (1927), where she explains her ideas about women’s situation and takes position towards egalitarian feminism. She also shows her particular views about the tensions produced by economic, legal and family situation of Spanish women in that particular society in her only long novel, La trampa del arenal, published in 1923.
