From Wikisphere and in coordination with the Sephardic Museum of Toledo, last 15 March we organised a Editatona on Sephardic women. The activity was raised within the framework of the International Women's Day 2025.

As a guest we have Laura Martin-Riesco, historian and museum specialist in gender perspective in museums at the University of Leicester (United Kingdom). As curator of the Communication and Dissemination Department of the Sephardic Museum, Laura introduced us to the history of the museum and the Transit Synagogue where it is located. In addition, he told us about Sephardic culture and the important and unknown role of many women in it.
