Later, and for a short period, would enter the academy Francesc d' A. Galí, where she met Joan Miró and Cristōfol Ricard, with the latter establishing close friendships both personally and artistically At the end of World War I Anglada traveled to Paris thanks to a French Government scholarship, collaborating with several publishing companies there, where she corresponded with Francesc Macià or Josep Clarà. Infused with democratic values and the Catalanist cause, she organized a request of amnesty for the accused participants in the Garraf Plot against the King Alfonso XIII of Spain. • Illustration — Porcelain doll dressed in vintage, 1877.

The character that she made most well-known, "El més petit de tots" ("the smallest of all of them"), is a symbol of Catalan national identity of that period.
