Feminal Magazine: Paradigm of Spanish Feminist Publications of the Early Twentieth Century
Abstract
The Feminal magazine was published as a supplement of the newspaper La Ilustració Catalana from April 1907 to December 1917. The mainstream of this publication lies in being the first, in Barcelona, which addresses issues of relevance to the history of Spanish feminism as the claiming for the voting rights. The magazine as the whole shows, explicitly, the interest of Karr to increase women’s culture, in fact musical repertoire is no stranger to this goal: it can be seen several intentions of Carmen Karr such as the promotion of female authorship, creating a link between female authors and female interpreters and the translation in music of a particular cultural thought. The musical repertoire of the magazine creates a relationship shared by the members of the performance, building a particular female social identity.
