Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: International discourses regarding women’s identities and equality are picked up by many local actors, including states, sub-national administrations, political parties, and women’s associations. The region of Galicia, which comprises the northwestern portion of Spain, is a particularly intriguing case of the manifestation of international ideas regarding equality. In this paper, I chart the effects of international phenomena and local variables on two kinds of women’s associations in the region: the Galician nationalist feminists and the rural women’s associations of Galicia. The purpose of the paper is twofold: 1) to establish the unique nature of subnational activisms yet tie them to international themes and 2) to show how the local embodiment of equality politics can create diversity in women’s civil society – even civil society in a small place. The Galician activists, while being similarly influenced by regional culture and international discourses, are perhaps movements unto themselves.
