Protecting the Spanish WomanGender Identity and Empowerment in Mara De Zayas's Works\nAuthor(s): Xabier Granja Ibarreche\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: University of Nevada Press, United States\nImprint: University of Nevada Press\nISBN-13: 9781647790844, 978-1647790844\nSynopsis\nMara de Zayas is unique in the seventeenth century as the only Spanish woman to write a collection of exemplary novels whose quality is often compared to Miguel de Cervantes' masterful works. Her two main collections of short stories, Novelas amorosas y ejemplares and Desengaos amorosos, encompass a social critique based on literary fiction that exposes flaws in the idealized archetypes of masculine identity in early modern Spain. Zayas's stories redefine women's patriarchal disadvantage as a tool to expose the ways in which early modern Spanish women could be empowered to counteract men's discursive and political authority, which they use to unfairly maintain their own social privilege.\n\nXabier Granja Ib.
