Premio Ciudad de Irún 2011-Poesía
¿Qué habita en las almas de las mujeres que entregaron su vida a una causa? ¿Cuál es la estela de Artemisia Gentileschi, Irena Sendler o Carolina Coronado?
Fátima Frutos exhuma verso a verso a éstas y a otras mujeres, reales y ficticias, que a lo largo de la historia de nuestro mundo hicieron de la lucha por la dignidad el sentido de su existencia, y, al hacerlo, se busca a sí misma en todas ellas. De igual...

El estudio de las autoras que han sido excluidas de la historia literaria, de las antologías, de los manuales, de la valoración crítica en su tiempo y después, supone emprender una verdadera labor arqueológica. De las aproximadamente mil doscientas escritoras documentadas en el periodo romántico español conocemos la biografía y la obra, a menudo incompleta, de muy pocas, ya que estos datos aparecen diseminados por distintos fondos de difícil...

Sostiene Ana Urkiza que el sistema literario vasco, en permanente esfuerzo por ofrecer una imagen de modernidad, no ha alcanzado aún la madurez.

Tandis que l'on pense – libération de la parole aidant –, que les droits des femmes effectuaient des avancées décisives, il nous faut bien constater que partout dans le monde, les idées conservatrices à leur encontre gagnent du terrain. Le chemin qui mena les écrivaines à la reconnaissance de leur place dans la littérature ne fut pas non plus une balade dominicale pour celles que l'on appelait encore les yeoryu jakka (여류 작가), littéralement...

"Lo que sucede es que estamos tan acostumbrados al horror que tal vez no seamos capaces de dimensionar su magnitud".
En tiempos en los que el feminismo destaca como lucha social junto con el ecologismo, Victoria Sendón nos propone un viaje holístico e interdisciplinar por todas las capas (desde la corteza hasta el núcleo) de nuestra sociedad para desenmarañar las redes de un sistema patriarcal que nos agota, como mujeres y como ciudadanas.

In The White Album, Joan Didion famously wrote that "a place belongs forever to whoever claims it hardest, remembers it most obsessively...loves it so radically that he remakes it in his image." Cruising in her Daytona yellow Corvette Stingray, taking it all in behind dark glasses, Joan Didion claimed California for all time. Slouching Towards Los Angeles is a multi-faceted portrait of the literary icon who, in turn, belongs to us.

All stories have a beginning, before the first words are even, written. The idea that germinates for years, in the heart before the mind brings it into form. This story really began in the Presidential campaign of 1960 and the few but fertile years that followed. Fertile because they inseminated in the upcoming generation a drive to either enter public service, or to understand that they ought to be part of the fabric that constitutes what our country...
