While these women were both acclaimed and critiqued in their day, they have been largely overlooked by contemporary mainstream criticism. Detailed enough for experts yet accessible to undergraduates, graduate students, and the general reader, Rewriting Womanhood provides ample historical context for understanding the key womens issues of nineteenth-century Mexico, Peru, and Puerto Rico; clear definitions of the psychoanalytic theories used to unearth the rewriting of the female self; and in-depth literary analyses of the feminine agency that Barragán, Cabello, and Roqué highlight in their fiction.Rewriting Womanhood reaffirms the value of three women novelists who wished to broaden the ruling-class definition of woman as mother and wife to include woman as individual for a modern era. As such, it is an important contribution to womens studies, nineteenth-century Hispanic studies, and sexuality and gender studies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51710217126176,"sku":"NEW0271034394","price":46.61,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/718s6V3KK5L.jpg?v=1779396140","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/rewriting-womanhood-feminism-subjectivity-and-the-angel-of-the-house-in-the-latin-american-novel-1887-1903-penn-state-romance-studies-0271034394","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
