Placa a Victoria Kent
Placa a Victoria Kent stands in Málaga as a tribute to the lawyer and politician born in this city in 1892. The plaque belongs to the “Málaga Makes History” initiative, which honours notable figures linked to Málaga. It marks a local connection to Spanish legal and political history, alongside plaques for José Ortega y Gasset and Ernest Hemingway.
Victoria Kent became one of Spain’s first women lawyers and the first woman to appear before a military court. During the Second Republic, she served as a deputy and directed the prison system. Her reforms removed shackles and chains while seeking greater dignity for inmates. After the Spanish Civil War, Paris, Mexico and New York became places where she continued her work in social defence. The plaque remains on the building where she was born, giving this Málaga address a direct link to her life.
