Women during the Dictatorship of Primo de Rivera had few rights and were subjected to discriminatory gender norms. While feminists were active, they were limited in numbers and their organizations were not overly successful in accomplishing their goals.
Women's suffrage took limited steps forward. 8 March 1924 Royal Decree's Municipal Statue Article 51 gave women the right to vote for the first time, but was viewed as an attempt to shore up Primo de Rivera's electoral chances. By the time of the next national elections, the constitution giving women the right to vote was no longer in force as a new constitution was being drafted.
The second part of the Dictatorship would see an increase in women's agitation for equal rights. It also saw some women falling out with traditional political organizations, seeing them as not being effective for their goals. Educational opportunities for women would increase, along with literacy rates for women.
Women on the street often faced harassment. Economic requirements meant women were more visible in the workforce, and started encroaching on traditional male domains like the cafe and ateneo.
