informadas

Informadas is the feminine plural form of the Spanish adjective informada, meaning "well informed" or "informed." It can function as an adjective modifying feminine plural nouns, as in las personas informadas, or as a noun phrase referring to a group of women described as informed. In standard usage, the masculine plural form informados is used for men or mixed groups, while informadas is chosen to reflect feminine reference. The term derives from the verb informar, with the participle form informada.

Usage and context: The expression is common in discourse that emphasizes information, transparency, or evidence-based reasoning. It may appear in political, academic, or media texts. Examples include: "Las informadas señalaron la necesidad de mayor transparencia" or "El grupo de informadas presentó un informe respaldado por datos." In many cases, speakers will instead use gender-neutral phrasing such as personas informadas or simply “informadas/os” to address mixed groups.

Etymology and grammar: The word is built from informar plus the feminine participle suffix -ada. As a grammatical form, its meaning depends on the noun it modifies or on the noun phrase it constitutes. It does not denote a distinct political or social movement by itself; rather, it is a gendered grammatical expression used to describe a group characterized by being informed.

Note: There is no widely recognized concept titled "informadas" as a standalone term in standard Spanish; it is primarily a grammatical form used in sentences referring to women who are informed.
