Enriqueta Sèculi i Bastida

The Club Femení i d'Esports de Barcelona was the most important sports and feminist organisation in pre-war Barcelona, linked to progressive and Catalanist political proposals. The club was founded on the initiative of Teresa Torrens and Enriqueta Sèculi on 14 October 1928, a few years before the other important cultural space for women in the city during the 1930s, the Lyceum Club. The latter followed a European model and was frequented by intellectuals, while the Club Femení i d'Esports was the first exclusively female sports organisation in Spain, with an aim to being accessible to all women.
