Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La historia del feminismo, desde la prehistoria hasta #MeToo «Una auténtica joyita.» Marta Moleón, La Razón Desde la prehistoria hasta el #MeToo, la historia de las mujeres ha sido una constante lucha por conquistar nuevos espacios de libertad. Desde una perspectiva crítica, Herstory: una historia ilustrada de las mujeres repasa los hitos, bandazos y resistencias de esta lucha, peleada durante siglos por figuras determinantes e iniciativas colectivas. Un libro repleto de información, inspirador y, también, inacabado, porque las luchas de las mujeres siguen vigentes y suman cada vez más guerreras entre sus filas. Críticas: «Hay libros que de tan estéticos, perfilados y detallistas podrían acercarse más al concepto de obra de arte que cualquier cuadro que cuelgue de una exposición. Con Herstory ocurre precisamente eso: un recorrido visual profundamente colorido y potente que facilita la profundización en los textos que lo acompañan.» Marta Moleón, La Razón «Casi 200 páginas cuajadas de historias realmente atractivas, muchas de ellas sorprendentes, con ilustraciones muy llamativas. Cuenta la historia de las mujeres de un modo riguroso y ameno en el que cabe también el sentido crítico.» Alberto Martínez Arias, Radio Nacional de España «Una de las cosas más bonitas que han caído en mis manos durante el 2018. [...] No me canso de recomendar libros y cosas que visibilizan la historia de las mujeres que ha sido silenciada durante demasiado tiempo pero es que este es tan precioso que es una necesidad y ya está.» Beatriz Romero, WeLoverSize «Un discurso desde lo femenino, una reivindicación de la palabra para contar realidades, no para crearlas.» María Hernández, El Mundo «Hay una nueva generación de ilustradoras "hipervirtuosas" rompiendo esquemas entre las que está Cristina Daura. [...] La cubierta [de Herstory] es un trabajo muy punki, que toma como punto de partida el cartelismo modernista y lo lleva al límite.» Laura Fernández, El País «El otro libro de historia.» Charo Lagares, Marie Claire «Un precioso libro-manual que debe ser obligatorio este 2019 tanto por contenido, un estudio profundo del feminismo desde sus orígenes, como por su preciosista presentación y bellas ilustraciones.» Ana Andújar, El Diario «Es una historia del combate de la mujer en la historia de la humanidad, porque la historia de las mujeres es la historia de todos y por eso nos dan ejemplos de todos y cada uno de los continentes del planeta, casi diría que de todos sus rincones.» Carmen Domingo, La Marea «Este volumen recorre, con voluntad crítica, rigurosidad y didactismo, la constante lucha de la mujer por conquistar espacios de libertad.» Anna Abella, El Periódico «Una obra en la que el rigor se une a lo pedagógico dando como resultado una suerte de libro de texto caleidoscópico hecho de luchas y retrocesos, de heroísmos y sobre todo de compromiso. [...] Fomenta dos actividades altamente subversivas en estos tiempos de turbocapitalismo rampante: ejercitar el desapego hacia los discursos heredados y el cuidado hacia las personas.» Juan Losa, Público «La historia (también) la han escrito mujeres. Un libro ilustrado que reivindica la importancia de los personajes femeninos a lo largo de los siglos.» Thais Gutiérrez, Diari Ara
Download or read book Women in the Medieval Spanish Epic and Lyric Traditions written by Lucy A. Sponsler and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2021-05-11 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The culture of medieval Spain was anything nut homogeneous. It varied not only through time, with the approach of the Renaissance, but also geographically, with great differences between north and south. In this study, author Lucy A. Sponsler illuminates the role of women during this interesting period by exploring their portrayal in literature. Women in the Medieval Spanish Epic and Lyric Traditions examines the various ways in which women were portrayed in the formative years of medieval society, as well as the development of these views as new social mores evolved. Employing a thorough examination of the literature, Sponsler reveals that a high degree of respect was demonstrated toward women in Spanish prose and poetry of this period. Her study sheds new light on the role of women in relation to men, family, and social organization in medieval Spain.

The book is packed with interesting information ... Heath Dillard has performed a real service by sifting through piles of historical documents to bring to life for us the many different kinds of women who lived in the towns of Castile during the Middle Ages.' -- Kathleen Kish, Hispania

Download or read book Eve s Enlightenment written by Catherine M. Jaffe and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2009-04-01 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eve's portrayal in the Bible as a sinner and a temptress seemed to represent -- and justify -- women's inferior position in society for much of history. During the Enlightenment, women challenged these traditional gender roles by joining the public sphere as writers, intellectuals, philanthropists, artists, and patrons of the arts. Some sought to reclaim Eve by recasting her as a positive symbol of women's abilities and intellectual curiosity. In Eve's Enlightenment, leading scholars in the fields of history, art history, literature, and psychology discuss how Enlightenment philosophies compared to women's actual experiences in Spain and Spanish America during the period. Relying on newspaper accounts, poetry, polemic, paintings, and saints' lives, this diverse group of contributors discuss how evolving legal, social, and medical norms affected Hispanic women and how art and literature portrayed them. Contributors such as historians Mónica Bolufer Peruga and María Victoria López-Cordón Cortezo, art historian Janis A. Tomlinson, and literary critic Rebecca Haidt also examine the contributions these women's experiences make to a transatlantic understanding of the Enlightenment. A common theme unites many of the essays: while Enlightenment reformers demanded rational equality for men and women, society increasingly emphasized sentiment and passion as defining characteristics of the female sex, leading to deepening contradictions. Despite clear gaps between Enlightenment ideals and women's experiences, however, the contributors agree that the women of Spain and Spanish America not only took part in the social and cultural transformations of the time but also exerted their own power and influence to help guide the Spanish-speaking world toward modernity. The first interdisciplinary collection published in English, Eve's Enlightenment offers a wealth of information for scholars of eighteenth-century Spanish history, literature, art history, and women's studies. An introduction by editors Catherine M. Jaffe and Elizabeth Franklin Lewis provides helpful historical and contextual information.

Download or read book In Defence of Women written by and published by MHRA. This book was released on 2018-08-13 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The beginning of the eighteenth century opened Spain to an influx of people, books and ideas and gave the country its own brief age of Enlightenment. At this time of momentous change, the three authors represented in this volume contributed to the Europe-wide debate over the nature of women and their position in society. Benito Jerónimo Feijoo was an admired scholar and a prolific author. One of his most controversial essays was Defence of Women, which argued that women were men's intellectual equals. This sparked a pamphlet war that continued for twenty-five years. Josefa Amar y Borbón was a writer and translator who submitted her own spirited argument, the Defence of the Talents of Women, to a debate on whether women should be admitted to the new Economic Societies. She also demanded in her Discourse on the Education of Women that women should be given the opportunity to study and learn. At the very end of the century, Inés Joyes y Blake published an Apology for Women, arguing that women should develop self-respect, support each other and refuse to be manipulated by insincere lovers and domineering husbands. All three writers wrote with verve and imagination about one of the most important social questions of their day

Download or read book A New History of Iberian Feminisms written by Silvia Bermudez and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2018-02-05 with total page 541 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New History of Iberian Feminisms 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. The Iberian Peninsula encompasses a dynamic and fraught history of feminism that had to contend with entrenched tradition and a dominant Catholic Church. Editors Silvia Bermúdez and Roberta Johnson and their contributors reveal the long and historical struggles of women living within various parts of the Iberian Peninsula to achieve full citizenship. A New History of Iberian Feminisms comprises a great deal of new scholarship, including nineteenth-century essays written by women on the topic of equality. By addressing these lost texts of feminist thought, Bermúdez, Johnson, and their contributors reveal that female equality, considered a dormant topic in the early nineteenth century, was very much part of the political conversation, and helped to launch the new feminist wave in the second half of the century.
