Victoria Sendón de León

Victoria Sendón de León (born 1942) is a Spanish philosopher, feminist and writer.

A difference feminist, Sendón de León has criticized equality feminism’s emphasis on rationality and ideals of equality:

I want difference. I am profoundly repulsed by equality ... I am not convinced by this fallacy that equality is required for liberty. Liberty does not grow in rotten, swampy waters[1]
