Overview"This volume brings together cutting-edge research on modern Spanish women as writers, activists, and embodiments of cultural change, and simultaneously honors Maryellen Bieder's invaluable scholarly contribution to the field. The essays are innovative in their consideration of lesser-known women writers, focus on women as political activists, and use of post-colonialism, queer theory, and spatial theory to examine the period from the Enlightenment until World War II. The contributors study women as agents and representations of social change in a variety of genres, including short stories, novels, plays, personal letters, and journalistic pieces. Canonical authors such as Emilia Pardo Bazan, Leopoldo Alas ""Clarin,"" and Carmen de Burgos are considered alongside lesser known writers and activists such as Maria Rosa Galvez, Sofia Tartilan, and Caterina Albert i Paradis. The critical analyses are situated within their specific socio-historical context, and shed new light on nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Spanish literature, history, and culture.

The volume also models the same kind of literary activism championed by some of the women whose work inspires its various chapters. -- Journal of Spanish Cultural Studies The volume demonstrates the need to continue learning about the historical and cultural legacy of these women as agents of change and modernity to understand in more detail the role of Spanish women in the present moment, a moment that is challenging the anti-feminist and conservative discourse on both sides of the Atlantic as outdated. -- Revista de Literatura Jennifer Smith continues to vindicate the validity of feminism today.
