The ways in which women have historically authorized themselves to
write on war has blurred conventionally gendered lines,
intertwining the personal with the political. Women on War in
Spain's Long Nineteenth Century explores, through feminist lenses,
the cultural representations of late nineteenth- and early
twentieth-century Spanish women's texts on war. Reshaping the
current knowledge and understanding of key female authors in
Spain's fin de siecle, this book examines works by notable writers
- including Rosario de Acuna, Blanca de los Rios, Concepcion
Arenal, and Carmen de Burgos - as they engage with the War of
Independence, the Third Carlist War, Spain's colonial wars, and
World War I. The selected works foreground how women's
representations of war can challenge masculine conceptualizations
of public and domestic spheres. Christine Arkinstall analyses the
works' overarching themes and symbols, such as honour, blood, the
Virgin and the Mother, and the intersecting sexual, social, and
racial contracts. In doing so, Arkinstall highlights how these
texts imagine outcomes that deviate from established norms of
femininity, offer new models to Spanish women, and interrogate the
militaristic foundations of patriarchal societies.
