Abstract

The book Femenino singular. Revisiones del canon literario iberoamericano contemporáneo is a collection of works, the product of rigorous processes of literary research, about works made by representative Spanish and Latin American women writers of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.  The different articles that comprise it reflect an inclusive notion of canon and an interest in literary analysis with a gender perspective, in which a new look at the female self is evident.  The book also makes visible and gives value to women writers from different generations and periods who have been forgotten or excluded from the perspective of official literary canon.
