This book provides an overview of Spanish feminist thought from the eighteenth century to the present. It focuses on six concepts: solitude, personality, social class, work, difference and equality. It compares Spanish feminist theory with that of other countries. The author brings together arguments from different Spanish scholars. The book describes the tension between theorists of each persuasion, a tension that emerged publicly during Spain's democratic era.
This publication 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.
