ISCTE MARKS APRIL 25TH WITH CONVERSATION ABOUT THE ROLE OF WOMEN IN HISTORY
As part of the 52nd anniversary of April 25th, the ISCTE Library (Instituto Superior de Ciências do Trabalho e da Empresa) hosted, on April 23rd, the conversation “The Role of Women in History: Activism and Resistance,” held in the Reading Club Room. Moderated by Paulo Marques Alves and featuring Deolinda Carvalho Machado, Virgínia Baptista, and Albertina Pena, this gathering provided a moment of sharing and reflection on the role of women in the fight for rights and political participation throughout history.
This meeting was part of a broader program that included the exhibition “Women and Resistance – New Portuguese Letters and Other Struggles” and the bibliographic display “Representation and Political Participation of Women,” reinforcing the connection between knowledge, memory, and current affairs.
At the organization’s request, Horto do Campo Grande joined the session by offering 25 red carnations, distributed to guests and moderators. A simple gesture, yet full of meaning, that evoked the symbolism of April and marked this moment of sharing and celebration of freedom.
