Monumento a Clara Campoamor stands in Seville as a bronze sculpture dedicated to a pioneer of women’s rights. Anna Jonsson created the sculpture in Seville in 2007. A seated girl reads a book almost as large as herself, surrounded by stacked volumes and playful animals. The bronze figure sits at eye level with passers-by.

The work honours Clara Campoamor, who secured women’s suffrage in Spain’s 1931 Constitution. Born in Madrid in 1888, she studied law and became one of the first women to address Spain’s Supreme Court. She entered the Constituent Assembly in 1931, helped establish an international federation for women in legal careers, and later lived in exile after the Spanish Civil War. A competition in Seville led to Jonsson’s design, created with advice from Margarita Aizpuru.

A cube-shaped corten-steel pedestal supports the scene and carries a Seville inscription about freedom and rights. Look closely at the books, where meaningful titles connect reading with feminism and equality. A teddy bear holds open one page, while a tiny mouse takes a bath beside the reader. Ducks, animals, and the year 1931 turn a tribute to political struggle into an approachable scene about knowledge and freedom.
