Explanation
In 1914 a group of women emerged who fought with courage, intelligence and determination for the rights of women in a Spain that condemned them to mediocrity. They were freed from the corset, not only of the garment, but also of the intellectual and social "corset" that constricted them to their role as mothers and wives, participating without complexes of the intellectual and cultural life of Spain in the 20s and 30s. Their incessant struggle and their talent, made that together they became the most important and influential generation of feminine thinkers and artists of the Spanish cultural history.The interruption of the Civil War marked the end of those years of creativity and freedom. Most of them had to go into exile, or stay and accept again the role of women in a Spain that silenced them. Reconstituted democracy, the names of their male colleagues, were recovered and praised, while those of these women remained silent, losing their place.

Explanation
It was precisely his passion for art that led him to know the one who, in his own words, was the woman of his life, Camille Claudel. The young woman became the muse of the artist, whom, however, she did part of the sculptures that Rodin finished and sometimes he got inspiration from Camille's sculptures. Rodin always says that he did the sculptures and not her.
She was also a promising sculptor but it is true that she has gone on to history for being Rodin's mistress and not for her work. At the age of 20 she starts working with Rodin where he was also the one who later would be, in addition to his mentor, his lover.
Rodin married with her but he never planned to leave his wife, just as he did not want to do it with the other "stable" lover he already had. Even the fact that Camille got pregnant made the artist change her mind. She aborted and pressure ended up breaking her relationship.
Camille spent the last few years of her life isolated in the psychiatric of Montdevergues.
