Violence against women in the novels of Maria de Zayas y Sotomayor
Abstract
dc:description"Maria de Zayas y Sotomayor, writer of the Spanish Baroque ""novela corta"", (Novelas amorosas y ejemplares, 1637, and Desenganos amorosos, 1647) has been called a feminist by most scholars who study her work. This dissertation focusses on the author's thematic use of violence against women as a means of illustrating her feminist messages to the women of her time. The violent content of her work has the purpose of warning women about the cruel misogyny of men."
