Reviews
"Stimulating and necessary, A New History of Iberian Feminisms will be a wonderful book for research and teaching. It offers readers a solid understanding of the cultural history of feminism in the Iberian Peninsula and deserves a space in the bookshelves of anyone working on issues that intersect with feminist thought or on Iberian studies."
Alda Blanco:
"The breadth and depth of A New History of Iberian Feminisms, edited by Silvia Bermúdez and Roberta Johnson, is remarkable. This groundbreaking volume decenters traditional, nationalist histories of feminism by exploring feminist thought and its social movements throughout the Iberian peninsula: Spain, Portugal, Galicia, Cataluña, and the Basque country. The essays are consistently excellent. Each finely conceived and written piece admirably synthesizes the current research on its topic and provides invaluable insights."
Akiko Tsuchiya, Department of Romance Languages and Literatures, Washington University in St. Louis:
"A New History of Iberian Feminisms – the most comprehensive anthology of Iberian feminisms to date – revises our way of thinking about feminist cultural history within recent (re)formulations of Iberian studies. Forging connections across different historical periods, geopolitical areas, languages, and discursive forms, the contributors to the volume shed new light on the complexity of feminist thinking and activism in the Iberian Peninsula in a historically grounded fashion. The narrative that emerges from this diverse network of feminist voices is as nuanced as it is compelling. This foundational work should be required reading for all scholars and students of Iberian literary, cultural, and gender studies."
