A las mujeres de España. María Lejárraga

The documentary focuses on the figure of María Lejárraga (also known as María de la O), the most prolific Spanish writer of all time and one of the pioneers of feminism in our country during the 1920s, whose production came to light under the name of her husband, the theatrical entrepreneur Gregorio Martínez Sierra. She was the author of such emblematic works as 'Lullaby', transferred to the big screen on five occasions, or the libretto of 'El amor brujo', by Manuel de Falla. In addition, she worked in the position of deputy for the second Republic and created precursor projects focused on women?s rights and freedoms. 'To the women of Spain. María Lejárraga' is also the chronicle of a crucial moment in the history of Spain headed by a group of brilliant and brave women who wanted to build a better future, and whose dreams of progress were aborted at the outbreak of the Civil War.

The film aims to do justice to this exceptional woman, with ideas well ahead of their time and that has been unfairly forgotten by Spanish society and education.

Kiti Mánver, Manuela Carmena, Rosa Montero, Antonina Rodrigo, Vanessa Montfort, Juan Aguilera, Isabel Lizarraga, Remedios Zafra are all involved in this film. Cristina Domínguez takes on the role of the protagonist. Laura Hojman directs and signs the script.
