AUTHOR

Walker, D. J.

SUMMARY

In the late 1890s, a journalist wrote, "Spanish women would rather weep at a husband's or a son's gravesite than blush for lack of patriotic fervor." Yet, at a time when women were expected to sacrifice their sons and husbands willingly for the sake of the nation, women organized and led three significant demonstrations against conscription in Spain. SPANISH WOMEN AND THE COLONIAL WARS OF THE 1890S contextualizes these demonstrations and elucidates what they suggested to contemporaries about the role of women in public life in late nineteenth-century Spain. An appendix includes excerpts from primary sources that present often-neglected ideas and programs of dissident women, including Teresa Claramunt, Soledad Gustavo, and Angeles Lpez de Ayala, that afford specific insights into the formidable obstacles of the Catholic Church, class, and gender animosities that blocked change in the status and role of women in Spanish society.Walker, D. J. is the author of 'Spanish Women and the Colonial Wars of the 1890s', published 2008 under ISBN 9780807133163 and ISBN 0807133167.
