Descripción:The Feminist League was a movement that began the fight for women's suffrage in Costa Rica. Other groups also took part and achieved equal rights with the promulgation of the Political Constitution of 1949. An important group of these feminists participated in the Theosophical Society of Costa Rica and in freemasonry. The main objective of this research is to ascertain how women were promoted from their participation in the Theosophical Society or in the only co-masonic lodge to feminism. Consequently, we examine whether these spaces of sociability women strengthened their feminist ideologies to undertake suffrage campaigns in search for equality.
