She was the first woman admitted to Spain's Gynecological Society. She belonged to several women's organizations which advocated for the advancing of women's rights. Her written work is mostly known from her published articles in journals and conferences, as well as speeches given at scientific meetings.[1] In 2001, Aleixandre was one of the selectees for "100 women of the twentieth century who paved the way for equality in the 21st century women".[2]
