Abstract

The collected volume New Women of Spain edited by Elisabeth de Sotelo represents a substantial contribution to Hispanic and feminist research. The development of feminism in Spain is the focus of this sociological study. The book also presents Spanish feminism’s interdependence on variants and phases of US and German feminism. This informative volume sees the evolution of Iberian feminism exemplarily as a movement against the principal structures of androcentric societies. Even so, the authors provide sufficient space for the personal profile of the Spanish patriarchy, for example, its apotheosis during the Franco regime. This work is an indispensable handbook that could be followed by a similarly equipped study on the Spanish career of ‘gender-queerness.’
