WORKSHOP
THE UNKNOWN CÓRDOBA
Thursday March 6,13 and 20 at 18:30 at Les Roches
Saturday, April 26, guided tour of the city of Córdoba
José Galisteo Martínez, BA in Art History
A new workshop and a new city to discover: Córdoba, the enigmatic, the unknown, the seductive. A gift that will lead us to follow step by step, layer by layer, both its immense artistic legacy and the path taken by Muslims, Jews and Christians to shape an urban center always alive and ever-changing, where the Mudejar, Renaissance or Baroque can be found. Three classes in which José Galisteo will unveil the soul of Cordoba.

LITERARY GATHERING
MAN’S SEARCH FOR MEANINGB
by Viktor E. Frankl
Monday 28 April at 18:30 at Marbella Club
We will discuss Viktor E. Frankl’s Man’s Search for Meaning (El hombre en busca de sentido, Herder Editorial, 2021, 168 pages). Psychiatrist and writer, the author draws on his own harrowing experiences as a prisoner in Nazi concentration camps to develop logotherapy and, through it, to find meaning in life. Frankl speaks of inner freedom, kindness, suffering and also of humour even in extreme situations. For him ‘life is not primarily a search for pleasure, as Freud believed, or a search for power, as Alfred Adler taught, but a search for meaning’. A very interesting and enriching read that promises a good debate.

WOMEN IN THE BACKROUND OF HISTORY
LUCY BEAMAN THE FIRST QUALIFIED FEMALE DENTIST
Born in 1833 in the United States, Beaman Hobbs trained as a teacher, alongside her older brother, and graduated in 1849, aged just 16. For a decade she taught at a school in Brooklyn, Michigan, and boarded with a married couple of doctors, where her vocation for medicine took off.
After many difficulties, as she needed a professional in the field to sponsor her in order to be admitted to her studies, and many of her colleagues refused because she was a woman, she opened her first dental practice in 1861, at the age of 28 and without a degree. She finally qualified as a Doctor of Dental Surgery on 21 February 1866, becoming the first qualified female dentist.

INTERNATIONAL DAY
WORLD WATER DAY
22 March 2025
To mark World Water Day 2025, GWI releases a powerful infographic highlighting the urgent need for equitable access to clean water and its far-reaching impact on education and gender equality.
This year’s theme spotlights the devastating effects of glacier loss on water scarcity, with a special focus on how girls are disproportionately impacted—losing access to education, facing increased domestic burdens, and enduring long-term economic consequences. The infographic underscores the connection between safe water, menstrual health, school attendance, and the achievement of key Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
ANNIVERSARY
THE SPANISH FEDERATION OF UNIVERSITY WOMEN CELEBRATES ITS 105 ANNIVERSARY
The Spanish Federation of University Women, FEMU, celebrates its 105th anniversary on 7 March, as it was created in Madrid on 7 March 1920. At that time, it had the name Juventud Universitaria Femenina (JUF), which included names such as Clara Campoamor and María de Maeztu (president in the early years). Thanks to the impetus of these visionary women, the JUF was immediately integrated into the recently created International Federation of University Women (FIMU). Its president already attended the I International Conference, which took place that year in London, where she presented a report entitled ‘Higher Education for Women’.
We are very proud to celebrate this important date with 148 members in Spain.
