History

Feminal was a Catalan language monthly supplement to La Ilustració Catalana. It was published in Barcelona between 1907 and 1917. There was a second period of the magazine, in 1925, during the dictatorship of Primo de Rivera, but written at that time in Castilian Spanish, of which only two issues are known.
Feminal was defined as a magazine "with conservative ideas, but clearly feminist". In addition to women's rights, the publication also supported Catalan nationalist ideas. Its director was the journalist Carmen Karr. Collaborators included Palmira Ventós, Dolors Monserdà, Agnès Armengol, Maria Doménech, Caterina Albert, Sara Llorens, Lluïsa Vidal and Lola Anglada.
