Constructing Spanish Womanhood

Female Identity in Modern Spain

Author: Victoria Loree Enders
Secondary Author: Pamela Beth Radcliff
ISBN: 9780791440308

This book, the first anthology in English, links the concerns of Spanish women’s history to those of women’s history elsewhere in Europe and throughout the world. The contributors, representing the best of the new historical scholarship, expand our knowledge of the general field of Spanish history and contribute to the reconfiguring of European history through the inclusion of the Spanish experience. They tie empirical inquiries into the history of women in Spain to current feminist theoretical concerns, including debates about identity and agency, and they show how “contesting identities” also lead to “contesting categories” and into broad debates about cultural particularism.
