This article is focused on the Faculty of Law at the University of Zaragoza, the only center in the region that offered a JD program (called Licenciatura en Derecho) during the 20th century. With a perspective on gender, the purpose of this piece is to identify and make visible the first women who studied
and graduated in the legal discipline in Aragon, a land of great legal tradition. The article emphasizes that the legal science was especially reluctant to the access of women, even within a national context in which female students had already begun to enroll and graduate in other disciplines of Spanish universities, in spite of unfavorable attributions and gender determinants. Finally, this article shows that the referred context did not prevent the emergence, since 1915, of the first female legal students pioneers of Aragón, who left an extraordinary and no recognized mark at the Law School of Zaragoza.
