The question of gender has been ignored sometimes or mystified in historical literary analyses. This book focuses on contemporary Catalan literature and adopts a gender perspective that is difficult to overlook today. The very limited number of female authors in earlier times – whose numbers are increasing as more and more names of female writers consigned to oblivion by the historical canon are being unearthed – provided the justification for their discrimination. This volume contributes to the analysis of those past views on gender (all gender perspectives) as they appear through the lense of contemporary Catalan literature. In the social roles they adopt, female characters act, express, and assert themselves in the language they use and are based on the society of which they form part.
