Overview

This edited volume places the work of Spanish and Latin American female artists in, between, and across genres, media, spaces, identities, disciplines, and worlds. Its aim is to curate a series of interconnected studies on women artists across diverse media, and to position and redefine our understanding of female authorship. This is a timely intervention both in and beyond the fields of Hispanic Studies and Film and Cultural Studies, given the continued lack of visibility and persistent inequities experienced by individuals who identify as women.
