Dolores Franco de Marías Una vida desde la razón vital femenina-Nieves Gómez Álvarez

Writer, translator and teacher from Madrid, Dolores Franco de Marías (1912-1977) is best known for having been the most important woman in the life of the philosopher Julián Marías. But while it is true that she was the wife of one of the most outstanding Spanish thinkers of the 20th century and the mother of four children currently involved in Spanish cultural life, this paper would like to highlight her own intellectual value and the extent to which she can also be considered a disciple of José Ortega y Gasset and Pedro Salinas in the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters.
Undoubtedly, her great talents were to make possible a « polished and perfect love » (a very complex art) and to lead a difficult but authentic Spanish life, from a full feminine vital reason, open to the masculine one, in connection with it.

From Victims to Actors: Women’s Inclusion in the Energy Transition

Flora wrote a paper on the gender-energy-poverty nexus. She argued that the energy transition can reduce poverty under the conditions that women are recognised as the main victims of both lack of energy access and poverty, that women are encouraged to be active actors of the energy transition, and that the wider complexities of the social and political contexts are taken into consideration. She took the concrete example of the Barefoot College to illustrate her point that women are agents of change.
