Beschreibung:
Women across early modern Europe suffered repressive and restrictive patriarchal measures that denied them education and a voice. Nowhere was this more apparent than in Counter-Reformation Iberia. Yet there is increasing awareness of a wealth of cultural activity by women, produced in spite of long-cherished masculine notions of biological determinism, masculine control, and feminine shame. Women proved that given the opportunity and the education they were equal in reason and intelligence to their male counterparts.
Women across early modern Europe suffered repressive and restrictive patriarchal measures that denied them education and a voice. This title offers an analytical study of the sonnets of five seventeenth-century women in Spain and Portugal. Using the sonnets as a basis for inquiry, it sheds light on women's life.
