Aurora Teixeira de Castro (1891 – 1931) was vice-president in 1926 and 1927 of the feminist Conselho Nacional das Mulheres Portuguesas (National Council of Portuguese Women).

As a member of the Conselho Nacional das Mulheres Portuguesas, she played a major role in one of its early conferences, on the theme of “The legal situation of women in Portugal”, making four separate presentations.

[1][2] In 1921 she published Reivindicações Sociais e Políticas da Mulher Portuguesa na República (Social and Political Claims of the Portuguese Woman under the Republic).

In February 1923, the Council sent a message of thanks to the Minister of Justice and Religious Affairs, António de Abranches Ferrão, for presenting a draft law on the updating of the legal status of married women in relation to the administration of their property.

Teixeira de Castro, in an article published in the council's magazine, Alma feminina, recognized that the draft law represented progress for Portuguese women, but continued to advocate the absolute separation of assets.
