Readers interested in classic Spanish narrative and the female perspective of the Golden Age.
María de Zayas y Sotomayor was a writer during the Spanish Golden Age. She is considered by many modern critics to be one of the pioneers of feminist literature, while others consider her simply a well-accomplished baroque author. The female characters in de Zayas's stories enlightened readers about the plight of women in Spanish society, or to instruct them in proper ways to live their lives.
