No. 7 (2008): Lo femenino fuera de lugar: Mujeres, Literatura y Exilio

Exile has always been a literary theme told from a male perspective. The exiled writers were silenced and forgotten by literary history, not only because of their political status as dissidents but also because of their status as women who broke the norms of conduct and the models imposed by the femininity of the state. Many women writers suffered exile status in the 20th century due to political changes in Europe. His works, tinged with a strong autobiography, have been scarcely published, republished or studied. The textual particularities of female exile are analyzed in this volume from an intercultural and ambivalent perspective, as an imposed exile and consciously chosen internal exile, as Virginia Woolf argued: “As a woman, I have no country. As a woman, I don't want a country. As a woman, my country is the whole world ”.
