    Nowhere do I see Rosa Chacel, Concha Méndez, Mª Teresa León, María Zambrano or Carmen Conde, the first woman to enter the RAE.
    Maybe you haven't heard of them or you just haven't remembered to add them.
    Their male companions did not turn their backs on them, let's not do something they did not do in their day.
