SOLE, Carlota; SERRADELL, Olga  y  SORDE, Teresa. Feminine Citizenship.: Contributions from Moroccan, Ecuadorian and Romanian Immigrant Women in Spain. rev.estud.soc. [online]. 2013, n.47, pp.51-66. ISSN 0123-885X.

In recent decades, the large increase in international migration has challenged the traditional conception of citizenship based on nationality and confined to the borders of the nation-state. Several contributions point to the need to take into account key elements in order to expand the concept in a cosmopolitan context. Nevertheless, the role of immigrant women is hardly discussed. This paper aims to contribute to this debate by presenting a critique of the traditional concept of citizenship. The article also introduces the role of immigrant women in the practice of citizenship through their everyday experiences. From a transnational perspective, we argue that immigrant women promote a more inclusive citizenship due to their links with grassroots organizations and informal spaces of participation.

Palabras clave : Citizenship; gender; migration; socialization; social movements.
