An overview of the issues and critical debates in the field of
Women's Studies within the area of peninsular Hispanism. After an
introductory survey of the development of women's studies in the
context of Spain, twenty-one chronologically ordered essays by
scholars from Britain, the United States, Spain and Mexico explore
women's roles in the cultural production of their time from the
Middle Ages to the present. The essays of the first half examine
the work of the earliest women writers and artists - memoirs and
meditations, novellas and plays - and the representationor
self-representation of women in a broad sweep of texts including
medieval folksong, hagiography, and painting of the Baroque era.
The modern section focuses on women's participation in politics and
culture from the eighteenth century onwards: as translators and
essayists, as consumers of visual ephemera and conduct books, as
writers and artists, film directors and performers. An alternative
and supplement to standard literary histories, thisvolume offers
new insights into women's agency and representation in the cultural
heritage of Spain. It will prove a useful and stimulating resource
for students at all levels, and an accessible guide for the general
reader. XON DE ROS and GERALDINE HAZBUN lecture in Spanish
literature at the University of Oxford. CONTRIBUTORS: Nieves
