... that Trinidad Arroyo, the first Spanish woman
ophthalmologist, may have also been the first Spanish woman to vote? Source: Ansede (2022). "Trinidad Arroyo, la mujer que votó 17 años antes que las demás". El País. "Pero Arroyo votó antes que las demás porque algunos senadores eran elegidos por las universidades y, en 1916, ella era profesora auxiliar en la Facultad de Medicina de la Universidad Central de Madrid."
ALT1: ... that Trinidad Arroyo was allowed to vote in a Spanish election 17 years before women were granted suffrage? Source: same as above
New enough and long enough. QPQ present. No textual issues; hook fact seems to check out (AGF — it's a paywalled El País article). ALT0 has a second piece that checks out to another source (first female ophthalmologist). Very nice addition.

"Arroyo was able to speak several languages, which was of great use to the associations that she was involved with, as she was able to represent them to other countries. In addition to Spanish, she was able to speak English, French, and German." Suggest "Arroyo was able to speak English, French, and German in addition to Spanish, which was of great use to the associations that she was involved with, as she was able to represent them to other countries" as more concise.
"They established themselves with other Spanish intellectuals in exile": not sure what is meant by "established". "Became acquainted with"? "Formed friendships with"? Or if this is more of an intellectual circle, perhaps something like "They established themselves as part of a circle of Spanish intellectuals in exile"?
FN 1 cites "Arroyo and her husband began an ophthalmology practice in Madrid": Verified.
FN 8 cites "and the first to be in a subject other than gynaecology": can you quote the supporting text?
FN 8 cites "Despite her extensive work and involvement with the university, she was not granted the same privileges or status as her colleagues. She was never granted a professorial position nor was she allowed to publish with the university." Can you quote this too?
La primera médica no ginecóloga fue Trinidad Arroyo Villaverde que, quizás bajo la influencia de su profesor Vicente Sagarra Lasuraín, se dedicó a la Oftalmología
A Trinidad Arroyo se la consideraba como valiosa profesional en su especialidad, inició en ella a su marido, trabaja incansablemente, publicaba artículos...; pero su techo estuvo en ser condiscípula de, colaboradora de, consejera de; no se le permitió el acceso a una Cátedra, ni compartir la publicación de ese manual universiatario en el que ella parece había tenido tanta parte, ni la relevancia social que todo ello suponía.
