5.0 out of 5 stars ¡Qué feminista!, December 18, 2006

By

This review is from: Desenganos Amorosos (Paperback)

Maria de Zayas is by far the most exciting female author to come out of Spain's Golden Age, if you consider the fact that this was in the 1600s. English nor French lit can touch this woman's commitment to educate women and have them realize that having a man isn't everything. Touching upon the mystical at times, her stories are grusome and desperate. I have never read such unique, descriptive stories in all of my life. I had the opportunity to read them in Spanish first, so if you are able to read them in their original language you should do so.

This book is a must for anyone interested in Spanish literature or even early feminism. You will be shocked, but interested to keep reading.
