An important autonomous feminist movement flourished in the Basque Country in the second half of the 1970s. Then the feminist emerged with a solid identity as a new political actor. During the transition to democracy, the feminist movement discourses were first about woman identity, which gave a new meaning to a subversive re-reading of the Francoist gender ideal. However, throughout the 80s, the feminist struggles were diversifying and feminist identity was gradually losing homogeneity. As a result of this process, the political subject became fractured in the 90s, however, the success of the feminist movement was evident as it recognized the diversity and differences between women.
