In 1934, she became the first female councillor in the history of L’Hospitalet de Llobregat, and she stood out for her activism on behalf of working women’s rights. She arrived in Barcelona with her family in 1908, and in 1925 she began working at the Prat Vermell factories, now known as the Zona Franca. Subsequently she went to work at the Can Pareto textile factory, when she moved to the Santa Eulàlia neighbourhood in L'Hospitalet de Llobregat. Later, she worked in Sants and Poblenou in Barcelona, combining her work tasks with her political and social activism for the rights of working women. When the Second Republic was proclaimed in 1931, she joined Esquerra Republicana (ERC – Republican Left of Catalonia). Because of her political militancy, she was imprisoned from 1939 to 1942 in the Barcelona Women's Prison in Les Corts. The initial sentence, of 12 years, was revoked three years later, when a second trial acquitted her of all charges. Until 1948, she had to present herself monthly to the Local Board of Supervised Freedom in L'Hospitalet.
