Contemporary Spanish Women Writers

Exploration of the narratives of some of the outstanding women writers of Spain from the end of the Spanish Civil War (and the beginning of the long and repressive Dictatorship of Franco) to the democratic society of today. Grounded on the socio-historical context we will study novels and short stories by Mercé Rododera, Martín Gaite, Rosa Montero, Soledad Puértolas, Marina Mayoral, Almudena Grandes, Lucía Etxebarría and others.
