HISTORIA DE UNA MAESTRA
By Josefina Aldecoa
Monday 21 September at 18:30 at Marbella Club
We will be discussing Historia de una maestra (Alfaguara, 2021, 240 pages) by Josefina Aldecoa. A fascinating book about the fulfilled and unfulfilled dreams of a young, idealistic teacher in Spain during the 1920s and 1930s, the importance of teaching, and the many teachers who fought to educate a nation in difficult times. A book to reflect on and discuss.
We look forward to seeing you!

CALLE MÁLAGA
Thursday 24 September at 6.30 pm at Eloísa Sánchez-Amillategui’s home
Calle Málaga is a luminous, delicate and deeply vibrant film. The story of María Ángeles, a 79-year-old woman living alone in Tangier who refuses to leave the flat where she has built her life, becomes a beautiful celebration of freedom, desire and the dignity of continuing to choose our own path at any age. Amidst memories, affection and new discoveries, the film speaks to us of what truly belongs to us: our home, our memories and, above all, our ability to keep on dreaming.

WOMEN IN THE BACKROUND OF HISTORY
ROSA PARKS
Mother of the Civil Rights Movement
She bravely defied racial segregation in America by refusing to give up her seat on a bus to a white passenger in Montgomery, Alabama, in 1955. Her act of peaceful disobedience triggered the bus boycott, led by Martin Luther King Jr.
She thus became a crucial milestone in the struggle for civil rights in the United States. Rosa Parks’ courage and determination inspired millions of people around the world and left a lasting legacy of resistance against injustice and racial discrimination.

GWI
GWI HISTORY
When Dean Virginia Gildersleeve, Professor Caroline Spurgeon and Rose Sidgwick sat together in 1918 and conceived the idea of a worldwide organization uniting university women, they were convinced that by fostering friendship and understanding, women graduates could help prevent another catastrophe such as the World War that had just ended. Their dream became reality the next year when university women from Great Britain, Canada and the United States met to lay the foundation for the International Federation of University Women (IFUW).
