«Las desheredadas» is Ángeles Caso's essay on women creators of the 18th and 19th centuries, published by Lumen in paperback (360 pages, in Spanish).
The author recovers women from the artistic, scientific and intellectual spheres whom the canon left out during the 18th and 19th centuries: painters, Enlightenment women, scientists, writers, revolutionaries and early feminists. Through their lives she reconstructs a female cultural genealogy and shows how their marginalisation ultimately drove the birth of feminism.
The book is part of Lumen's «Ensayo» collection and continues the project Ángeles Caso began with «Las olvidadas».
For readers interested in women's history, art and feminism who want to discover the creators the canon forgot.
María de los Ángeles Caso Machicado is a Spanish journalist, translator and writer. She is a recipient of the Premio Planeta de Novela.
