Race issues
[edit]Hi! Thanks to all contributors to this very interesting article (and really the whole series about Spain! I knew nearly nothing about this country neighbour to mine.) The article talks about women’s rights and religion issues but says nothing about racism. One of my friend who is Black told me about her experience during a holiday there, so it would be great if the article could be expanded to talk about this topic.

Close paraphrasing of source
[edit]When I was editing Women in Spain, particularly its "role in society" section I noticed that the editor who created the article @AnakngAraw: (since then retired) extracted content from this article's "Role of women" section. Most of this content contained very close paraphrasing of the source. Please see WP:PARAPHRASE. The article can be improved by copy-editing this type of paraphrasing out of the article and using more sources. Here are some examples of text that is either closely paraphrased or even directly copy-and-pasted from the source:
Without her husband's approval (referred to as permiso marital), a wife was prohibited from employment and property ownership.
- The source reads: "Without her husband's approval, referred to as the permiso marital, a wife was prohibited from almost all economic activities, including employment, ownership of property, or even travel away from home."
Other instances of direct copy-and-paste can be found here:
The permiso marital was abolished in 1975; laws against adultery were cancelled in 1978; and divorce was legalized in 1981.
- The source reads: "The permiso marital was abolished in 1975; laws against adultery were cancelled in 1978; and divorce was legalized in 1981."
Another issue is how much this section depends on that one single source. I've added a couple of additional sources but it is still too dependent on that one source. Thank you. Donna Spencertalk-to-me⛅ 16:08, 30 July 2020 (UTC)
