The Confederación Nacional del Trabajo was formed in 1910 as an anarcho-syndicalism organization. The framework of gender being part of the labor and anarchist union movement entered Confederación Nacional del Trabajo's platform between 1910 and 1913.  At this time, when women internationally wanted to be involved in their own national organizations, they were locked out.  This included leading feminists of the day like Clara Zetken, Rosa Luxemburg and Alexandra Kollantai who espoused the belief that the personal is political.  They were forced into women's only organizations that had little power in the broader movement.  The only opportunities for them to full integrate was through youth organizations or the formation of women only trade unions.
