Multiple Modernities: Carmen de Burgos, Author and Activist (New Hispanisms: Cultural and Literary Studies, 13, Band 13) - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

This collection of essays confirms Carmen de Burgos's pivotal place in Spanish feminist history by bringing together eminent international scholars who offer new readings of Burgos's work. It includes the analyses of a number of lesser known texts, both fictional and non-fictional, which give us a more comprehensive examination of Burgos's multi-pronged feminist approach. As an important precursor of Beauvoir's Le Deuxième Sexe [The Second Sex] (1949), Burgos's works, especially her essays, are essential feminist reading and complement other European and North American traditions. Gaining familiarity with the breadth and depth of her work serves not only to provide an understanding of Spanish first-wave feminism, but also enriches our appreciation of cultural studies, gender studies, subaltern studies, and travel literature.
