“A woman of modern ideas”: Federica Montseny, literature and anarchists gender identities.
Keywords:
Federica Montseny. Literature. Femininities and masculinities. Anarchism.Abstract
The literary production of the prominent anarchist Federica Montseny is an excellent historical source for the study of the gender models and identities that the Spanish libertarian movement of the early twentieth century advocated. In this research, the short novel La Victoria is analyzed through the cultural history of reading and the history of gender relations. This paper pays attention to the reception of the literary work, the controversy that it generated and the information that the social reception of the book can give us about gender relations.Downloads
