Memory and Postmemory in Lidia Falcón's Play Las mujeres caminaron con el fuego del siglo

Hispania, ISSN 0018-2133, Vol. 96, Nº 3, 2013, págs. 515-524

The role of women in Spanish history has gained greater attention in recent years among scholars as well as among creative artists. Particularly as women novelists, dramatists, and directors have increasingly focused on the plight of women under the Franco regime, more female characters have begun to emerge who give voice to women seeking to evoke and understand the past. Spanish author and feminist Lidia Falcón presents two women who speak of various traumatic experiences in their lives in an attempt to interrogate the past and their lack of representation within it in her play Las mujeres caminaron con el fuego del siglo (1994). Ultimately, the play considers Spain’s recent past from a place of trauma in order to recognize displaced female voices.

Antología de pensamiento feminista español edited by Roberta Johnson and Maite Zubiaurre (review)

Hispania Volume 97, Number 1, March 2014  pp. 160-161

An anthology focusing solely on feminist Spanish thought is both welcome and long overdue. Only two other anthologies on Spanish feminism exist (Antología del feminismo, by Amalia Martín-Gamero [Alianza, 1975] / Sevilla, Instituto Andaluz de la Mujer, 2002, and Mujeres y hombres: La formación del pensamiento igualitario by María Ángeles-Durán–Castalia, 1993–); however, they either do not focus exclusively on feminism relating to Spain or they concentrate on limited approaches to feminism (gender equality to be specific). This Antología de pensamiento feminista español, edited by Johnson and Zubiaurre, differs from the others in two specific ways: first, it locates Spanish feminist thought within the trajectory of Spanish history and Spanish feminism. Second, it covers a wide range of themes including but not limited to equality, education, personality, workplace, social class, marriage, fashion, and sex. Since the book approaches feminism through poignant themes as opposed to relying only upon well-known scholars, the editors admit that their work leaves out various recognized Spanish intellectuals. However, in an effort to reconcile the various intentional exclusions, they have included an extensive bibliography at the close of the volume.
