10 Euros - Felipe VI Clara Campoamor

Clara Campoamor secured women's suffrage in Spain in 1931, delivering a parliamentary speech that directly swayed the vote — at personal cost. Her own Republican Left party later expelled her, believing female voters would favor the right, which they did in 1933. She spent much of the following decades in exile, dying in Lausanne in 1972, three years before Spanish women voted in their first post-Franco election.

This issue belongs to Spain's ongoing "Mujeres del Siglo XX" commemorative program.
