Abstract
María Abrisqueta Delgado (San Sebastián, 1911-1992), initiator of «Guidism» (a youth movement of emancipatory non-formal education) in Spain and later in Cuba, showed a strong personality from childhood and an invincible commitment to social causes starting in her youth. She is the author of Manual para las Guías Católicas (Manual for Catholic Girl Guides) for Spanish speakers, which contains the main educational guidelines and was officially published in 1953 by the World Association of Guiding. In the prologue she stated that, understood in depth, it was the only organization that had completely fulfilled the ideals of youth and she considered it her duty to transmit its formula to future young women.
