«La morena de la copla» is the sociological essay by Andrés Sopeña Monsalve, published by Crítica in paperback (240 pages, in Spanish).
The essay studies how the copla, a deeply rooted musical genre, spread during the 20th century a female ideal centred on marriage and motherhood. Drawing on lyrics, sermons and other testimonies, it shows how these songs fixed gender roles and conveyed the idea that outside that destiny a woman was almost useless.
The book was first published in 1996.
A book for those interested in the social history of Spain and in the role of popular music in the construction of gender roles.
