From Academic Experience to Professional Political Activity. Short Notes on a Personal Experience Authors Nieves Ibeas Vueltas Universidad de Zaragoza Keywords: culture, women, politics, academic world Abstract The author comments on her own experiences as a committed feminist in two apparently different and even incompatible spheres, showing these are, necessarily, closely related. She has used both her academic and political backgrounds to shed a light on the persisting invisibility of women in our culture, despite their growing presence in political activities. Women are still not seen as individuals; not only men, but also some feminists tend to consider them as a homogenous group, with the same needs and desires. Thos text states that there is no justification for defending solutions for half of the human beings, since, apart from being a woman and sharing feminist convictions, they do not necessarily have anything in common.
