Throughout history, women have been relegated to a role that is inferior to that of men: they could not dispose of their person or their property; nor could they live their lives on an equal footing, as holders of identical rights and duties. This situation is more complicated for widowed women who, in addition to suffering the discrimination that is specific to their sex, have to assume a loss that in many cases means having to take sole charge of their family. This situation is changing, but measures must be taken to address the problem. This article reviews the consideration of women in Spanish historical law with the aim of sharing some measures of protection for widows that the government of the Spanish autonomous community of Galicia is currently working on. These are measures that can serve as a starting point for improving the situation of widowed women, not only throughout Spain, but also in the rest of the world.
