ResumoAmong the contributers are Clara Janes, Each study suggests detailed readings of selected texts. Some of the writers discussed are recognized as key figures in the Hispanic canon (Carmen Laforet, Rosario Castellanos, Carmen Conde, Merce Rodoreda, Juana de Ibarbourou). Others are less well-known (Maria Luisa Bombal, Idea Vilarino, Dora Alonso, Gioconda Belli, Julie Sopetran, Tina Diaz) but important to an understanding of women as producers of textual meaning. Among the contributers are Clara Janes, Monserrat Ordonez and Mirta Yanez. What emerges are the multiple subversive strategies used by women writing in Spanish and Catalan to enable self-representation and to challenge hegemonic discourse.
