Los albores de la emancipación femenina. Escritoras en la prensa del Sexenio Democrático
Abstract
The freedom of the press achieved after the Glorious Revolution was a context that was favorable for the appearance of a multitude of publications of all kinds, among which newspapers and magazines that propagated ideas in favor of gender equality stand out. This was a key moment for those working towards female emancipation, and they counted on the press as a great ally to spread their proposals in favor of the educational and labor regeneration of women. Likewise, there were the right circumstances for a series of feminist writers such as Rosa Marina, María Josefa Zapata, Margarita Pérez de Celis o Modesta Periú to deal with other issues, beyond the superficial theme of the headers dedicated at that time to their sex. This article collects some fragments of the works and publications in which these authors wrote or in which they were mentioned with the aim of using this source as a testimony of their biographies, as yet scarcely addressed.
