The first comprehensive analysis of the novels of prominent
contemporary Spanish writer and educator Josefina Aldecoa. Josefina
Aldecoa, in her treatment of themes such as a woman's place in
society under and after dictatorship, mother-daughter
relationships, war, and memory, confirmed her unique role as a
contemporary novelist concerned with women's identity in Spain and
as a writer of the mid-century generation ('los ninos de la
guerra'). The first volume of her trilogy, Historia de una maestra,
was one of the earliest narratives of historical memory to
beproduced in Spain. In this sense, Aldecoa's work anticipated new
developments in gender studies, such as the intersection of
feminist concerns and cultural memory. This book offers a
comprehensive examination of Aldecoa's trajectory as a novelist,
from La enredadera to Hermanas, centring on her primary
preoccupations of gender and memory, arguing that Aldecoa's fiction
offers a new, more complex understanding of women's identity than
previously understood. The work combines the two dominating
theoretical components of feminism and cultural memory with close
textual analysis of Aldecoa's narratives. Her novels highlight the
importance of the details of women's daily experiences and
struggles throughout the twentieth century, a period of significant
socio-political upheaval and change in Spain's history. NUALA KENNY

"The Advances in Bioethics" series is devoted to publishing
collections of original papers and multi-authored volumes that
advance the field of bioethics either by exploring new areas, or by
taking new approaches to traditional areas. Although the series is
published in English, its scope is international, and manuscripts
are welcome from authors throughout the world. This volume adopts a
more personal view of bioethics by examining the physician. It
discusses character formation, ethics, professional character, and
other concepts and addresses the interpersonal aspects of
physicians as well as the importance of character.
