Resum:
Cuban immigrants have been arriving in Spain for more than forty years, a phenomenon which experienced particular growth in the last fifteen years. This study looks at the role of women, who make up more than half of the Cuban immigrants that arrive. The study starts by analyzing the situation of women in Cuba, in particular their high level of participation in politics, culture and the workplace and their high level of education. From this context, the study analyzes how they conceive, construct and execute their migratory project in comparison with women from other places. Emphasis is placed on determining the motivations that cause them to leave Cuba, the influence of Cuban migratory regulations, the transnational links with the family of origin, and the nature of their migratory projects and careers.
