- Description
- The essays examine women in early modern Spain who defended their right to make their own decisions, defined their own identities, battled the status quo, challenged authority, and broke barriers. Such women did not necessarily engage in masculine pursuits, but often used cultural production and engaged in social subversion to exercise resistance in the home, in the convent, as actors and producers in the theater, women as dramatic subjects in plays on stage, and as writers, poets and readers. One part of the book is about Teresa of Ávila (1515-1582).
Each author makes a short nod to Bárbara Mujica, whose career this book celebrates, and her contribution to the field of Spanish literature, theater, women's studies, Teresian studies, and historical fiction.
