La mujer en el Código civil de 1889: la capacidad jurídica negada y las puertas abiertas a la igualdad

Abstract

Women have been marginalised by civil law, and this is because the Code of 1889 was written by and for men; it exuded a deeply androcentric ideology, typical of the patriarchal society of the time at which it was created. In this article we provide a brief overview of the situation of women from 1889 to the present day and we learn which doors that were locked tight were later opened with Herculean efforts so that we could pass through them today with absolute freedom.
