A New History of Iberian Feminisms is both a chronological history
and an analytical discussion of feminist thought in the Iberian
Peninsula, including Portugal, and the territories of Spain - the
Basque Provinces, Catalonia, and Galicia - from the eighteenth
century to the present day. The Iberian Peninsula encompasses a
dynamic and fraught history of feminism that had to contend with
entrenched tradition and a dominant Catholic Church. Editors Silvia
Bermudez and Roberta Johnson and their contributors reveal the long
and historical struggles of women living within various parts of
the Iberian Peninsula to achieve full citizenship. A New History of
Iberian Feminisms comprises a great deal of new scholarship,
including nineteenth-century essays written by women on the topic
of equality. By addressing these lost texts of feminist thought,
Bermudez, Johnson, and their contributors reveal that female
equality, considered a dormant topic in the early nineteenth
century, was very much part of the political conversation, and
helped to launch the new feminist wave in the second half of the
century.
