摘要：According to Kirsty Hooper's own research, there were at least 250 women active in Spanish cultural and intellectual circles at the turn of the nineteenth century (10). Nevertheless, most of these women are absent from the historical records of the period and certainly from the canons of the fin de siglo. In 1910, Sof¨ªa Casanova (1861-1958), a Galician-Spanish expatriate poet, novelist and journalist, gave a lecture at the Ateneo de Madrid, in which she remarked that 'la mujer espa.ola est¨¢ borrada de la cosmogon¨ªa intelectual de Europa. Cual Atl¨¢ntida que devor¨® el mar, flotador epitafio de s¨®lo dos nombres: Isabel la Cat¨®lica y Teresa de Jes¨²s' (1). Upon her death, Francoist obituaries recast Casanova as a 'passive, sentimentalised icon of Francoist femininity' (4), whilst her writing and contributions to Spanish and Galician intellectual and cultural life were consigned to oblivion
