SPAN 104. La voz de la mujer a través de los siglos

The seminar will look into the work of a few outstanding women writers from Spain throughout the centuries to study the development of a feminine conciousness. The text selection will include works by Santa Teresa, María de Zayas, Gertrudis Gómez de Avellaneda, Carolina Coronado, Emilia Pardo Bazán, Carmen de Burgos, Rosa Chacel, Carmen Martín Gaite, Carmen Laforet, Mercé Rodoreda, Esther Tusquets, Carme Riera, Almudena Grandes and others.
