Online Colloquium Women and Womanhood in Early Modern Spain and the New World – Agency, Autonomy and Authorship
This event was originally scheduled for 20 March 2020 but regrettably had to be postponed due to Covid-19.
This podcast has been recorded in its place and will showcase the inspiring work and experiences of women in early modern Spain and the New World who challenged the norms and traditions of their times.
These women have not been fully recognised and, in the case of the writers, very few of their works translated into English.
The panel also discusses how Golden Age women have been represented and their works received, in the past and today.
This event is held in collaboration with the IMLR and Instituto Cervantes in London.
Participants:
Elena Carrera (QMUL): ‘Women’s Shame in Early Modern Spain and Spanish America’.
Catherine Maguire (QMUL): ‘Representing mothers and maternal hope in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Spanish shrine books”.
Ana Maria Rodríguez (University of Iowa): ‘Wise and valiant: Ana Caro and Golden Age female writers’.
