Lidia Falcón O'Neill (born 13 December 1935) is a Spanish politician and writer. With a degree in law, dramatic art, and journalism, and a PhD in philosophy, she has stood out for her defense of feminism in Spain, especially during the Transition.
She was a member of the Unified Socialist Party of Catalonia (PSUC) [1] and suffered persecution and torture for her political ideas during the Franco dictatorship. [2] In 1976, she created the Feminist Collective of Barcelona, [3] a feminist magazine Vindicación Feminista, and the publishing house Ediciones de Feminismo. In 1977, she founded the Revolutionary Feminist Organization, from which the Feminist Party of Spain was created. Since 1979, she has directed the magazine Poder y libertad. [4]
Lidia Falcón O'Neill was born on 13 December 1935 in Madrid, the daughter of the Peruvian César Falcón and the Spaniard Enriqueta O'Neill (a.k.a. Regina Flavio), both writers and journalists, among other professions. Her parents met when her mother worked in the theater of her father, who was married with Irene Falcón, so his mother raised her alone. Both her maternal grandmother Regina de Lamo (Nora Avante) and her maternal aunt Carlota O'Neill (Laura de Noves) were writers, so it was not considered unusual when she wrote her first play at age 12.
During the dictatorship, Enriqueta O'Neill worked as a Francoist censor [5] and would maintain a relationship with the Carlist and provincial press secretary – the highest office of censorship in Barcelona – José Bernabé Oliva , [6] who would be Lidia Falcón's godfather. [7] Falcón herself was imprisoned for her political demands, and her mother committed suicide on 17 November 1972 in Barcelona. [8]
