The woman poet...must sing, just as birds fly and rivers flow,
wrote Carolina Coronado in 1846. In Spain of that time, a group of
women had begun to publish poetry. Their verse--Romantic,
predominantly lyric, and often linked to liberal reform--was novel
and controversial, because few women had ventured into print. The
poets collected in this anthology asserted in different ways their
imagination and literary voice.
Susan Kirkpatrick provides an overview of the period, and
Anna-Marie Aldaz adds a discussion of Spanish versification as well
as biographical sketches of the twenty-one poets whose works bring
alive the first decades of women's emergence as a force in the
Spanish literary world.
