The history of women in early modern Spain is a largely untapped
field. This book opens the field substantially by examining the
position of women in religious, political, literary, and economic
life. Drawing on both historical and literary approaches, the
contributors challenge the portrait of Spanish women as passive and
marginalized, showing that despite forces working to exclude them,
women in Golden Age Spain influenced religious life and politics
and made vital contributions to economic and cultural life.
The contributors seek to incorporate the study of Spanish women
into the current work on literary criticism and on the intersection
of private and public spheres. The authors integrate women into
subfields of Spanish history and literature, such as Inquisition
studies, the Spanish monarchy, Spain's economic and political
decline, and Golden Age drama. The essays demonstrate the necessity
and value of incorporating women into the study of Golden Age
Spain.
