A feminist and community activist and La Verneda neighbourhood resident who belonged to a generation of women who were not content with putting “Her work is her profession” on her ID document. In 1985, she pushed for the creation of  the La Tela de Penelope association, a meeting point with talks and activities geared towards defending women's rights in favour of their participation in public life, and which now forms part of the Sant Martí Civic Centre, very near the metro station that bears her name. In 2017, her work was recognised with the Jardins d’Ana Figuera, a garden project drawn up and promoted by the Memory and Gender Commission in her district, which worked with the Local Residents Association in Sant Martí de Provençals.
