Like much of the world at that era, machista views predominated in Spain, and Chacel's dialogue on that conference were considered off base or nonsensical by many members of Madrid's society.

Chacel, nevertheless, went on championing feminism as a new way to live for modern women, and, in 1921, she married a famous painter of the time, Timoteo Perez Rubio.

[2] This new, political problem, forced Chacel to move multiple times with her son, and she lived in Barcelona, Valencia, Paris.

In the meantime, her husband had the responsibility of moving out of the country the treasuries of the Museo del Prado to preserve them from the war devastation.

After the end of the war, the family reunited and travelled to Brazil, where they lived for three decades, with short stays in Buenos Aires.

[5] In 1977, her husband of 56 years died, and Chacel, who was a very frequent flyer between Madrid and Rio de Janeiro, decided to stay in Spain for good.

Her works include Acrópolis, published in 1984 and in which she writes about the Sapphic Circle of Madrid, of which she was a member along with Victorina Durán, Elena Fortún, and Matilde Ras.
