Philosopher, feminist activist and essayist, who was targeted for her lesbianism. In 1949, at the age of two, she arrived in Barcelona with her family. During the years in which she studied Philosophy at the University of Barcelona, she became involved in different social movements. Her militancy and neighbourhood struggles in El Carmel led her to work as a teacher at Tramuntana School. As an activist, she organised and participated in numerous demonstrations in defence of women's and the LGBTI movement’s rights.

Her work Feminismo de la diferencia (Difference Feminism), published in 1979, presented at the II State Conference on Women, ushered in a state-wide debate on the situation of women. She co-founded the first women’s centre in Barcelona, Casa de la Dona, inaugurated in 1980, and also magazines such as Red Amazonas (1981) and Laberint (1989).

In 1984, together with Dolors Majoral, she opened El centro, the Centre for Women's Studies, a space for feminist research and a place for women to meet. It was located at C/ Roselló 256, near the Joanic L4 metro stop.
