Las constituyentes is a 2011 documentary film directed by Oliva Acosta about the 27 women, deputies and senators, who participated in the Constituent Cortes. A document that recovers the voice of the first women who acceded to the Parliament after the dictatorship of Francisco Franco, it gathers the history and the political participation of women in Spain.[1] The documentary is subtitled in Spanish, English and French.
The assembly has the testimony of 14 of the 27 parliamentarians who participated in the Constituent Legislature, because some of them have not been able to participate and seven of them have already died; among them the civil war hero Dolores Ibarruri. In their discussions they remember the reasons why they entered politics and analyze the evolution of the situation of women in Spain.[citation needed]
