Enriqueta Sèculi

[1][2][3] In the General Meeting of January 1930, she proposed changing the name of the entity by adding the "i" (Club Femení i d'Esports) to expand its cultural and social scope.

[3] Sèculi was a professor at the Academia Miralles de Sabadell, the Institute of Culture and Popular Library of Barcelona, and the Workers' Union Federation, At the beginning of the 1930s, she was the secretary of the Permanent Women's Commission of the Catalan Women's Protection Association.

After the start of the Spanish Civil War, Sèculi, due to her clear feminist, Catalanist, and left-wing position, had to flee and move to Paris, where she found out that a Colombian school was looking for a new director.

In 1937 she was hired by the Colombian government and a few months later she held the post at the Normal School of Señoritas in Medellin, which would later change its name to Instituto Central Femenino.

Sèculi tried to make important changes in both the sports and social vision of the school, but, due to social conservatism in Medellin and the persecution she suffered from the Colombian church for her progressive positions, the ministry forced to resign from office.
