SPAN154 CM - Women in Spain: Making History from the Middle Ages to the 21st Century

From the Middle Ages to the 21st century, women have played an essential part in Spanish society, politics, and culture. Through manuscripts, films, political speeches, novels, and visual art, we’ll study the voices and experiences of women in Spanish history. We consider women´s lives in the “Three Spains” (Al-Andalus, Hispania, and Sepharad); Medieval beguines and witches; Goya’s nineteenth-century depictions of women at war; and the Civil War anti-fascist group “Las trece rosas” - as well as individuals such as Queens Isabel and Sofía, the legendary lieutenant Catalina de Erauso, politician Clara Campoamor, painter Remedios Varo, and filmmaker Icíar Bollaín, among others. This course will be taught in Spanish.
