París en femenino : Treinta escritoras europeas y americanas en la ciudad sin límites

At the end of the 19th and in the first half of the 20th century, Paris attracted artists and intellectuals, but when discussing the Belle Époque and the subsequent avant-garde in the interwar period, women's names are rarely mentioned. Did they exist? They did, but history relegated them to the margins. They were numerous, and their role was not limited to creating masterpieces, or even to inventing literary salons, directing publishing houses, magazines, or newspapers. On many occasions, they were also the ones who financed, encouraged, brought out of obscurity, discovered, disseminated, loved, and hated male writers. This book seeks to stir, or even shake, the canon of Western literature to shed light on a city that already possesses it in its own right, but which criticism and biographical genres have always focused on in terms of the lives and literary output of men. Recovering these figures is not a gesture of correction, but an act of literary justice: broadening the narrative to finally understand how modernity was truly constructed.
