POSTPONED - NEW DATE TBA - IAS Book Launch: Feminism, Writing and the Media in Spain

Unfortunately, due to the ongoing Covid-19 crisis, events will be postponed until the summer and autumn terms. We are very sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

This book explores the different treatment of writing by women and writing by men in twenty-first-century Spain. Focusing on contemporary Spanish authors Ana María Matute (1926– 2014), Rosa Montero (1952–), and Lucía Etxebarria (1966–), the author examines how Spanish women writers are marketed in Spain and, in particular, how current marketing strategies reinforce traditional structures of femininity. As social media and the internet transform authors’ relationship with their readers, the rapidly shifting publishing industry offers an important context for the difficult balance between high levels of reception and visibility and the persistence of traditional gender stereotypes.

This book is published by Peter Lang.
