[5] During her lifetime, Agustina González López was known as an eccentric: Her nickname was "la Zapatera" (English: the Shoemaker) [6] because her family owned a shoe store in Granada.
When the Spanish feminist Elisa Soriano Fisher (1891-1964) asked her for her assessment of the situation regarding women's rights in Granada, she described it in a letter in January 1920 thus: "I can only give you my own very humble and very frank opinion.
"[24] In 1927 and 1928 she published two more essays, Justificación (Justification), a kind of autobiography, and Las Leyes Secretas (The Secret Laws), in which she expounded her philosophy of life.
The party program called for, among other things, a world without borders, a common currency, education for all, equal rights for nobility and proletariat, and social acceptance for marriages of same-sex partners.
[26] In 1936, shortly after the start of the Spanish Civil War, Agustina González López was imprisoned in Granada and shot along with two other women in the nearby town of Viznar.
[32][33] Today, the writing designed by Agustina González López is considered an anticipation of those spellings that are common in (Spanish) short messages via SMS or WhatsApp.
[34] The essay Justificación is a kind of autobiography in which Agustina González López explains herself and responds to criticism of her behavior, which contemporaries considered scandalous.
[35] She was subjected to numerous hostilities in the conservative Granada of her time, not only because she went out alone and wore men's clothes, but also because she publicly stood up for her freedom and for the emancipation of women.
"[38]Another subject of the essay is the question of why there are feminine men ("hombres afeminados") and masculine women ("mujeres masculinizadas") [39] Agustina González López came into early contact with spiritual and theosophical movements that were fashionable at the beginning of the 20th century.
[40] According to her biographer Enriqueta Barranco Castillo, this makes her a pioneer of abstract art, similar to Georgiana Houghton (1814-1884) and Hilma af Klint (1862-1944) [41]
