📚 What are #women supposed to read? How are 'books for women' constructed as a commodity+a moral tool?
Our #OpenAccess #Database W4W traces the production & circulation of books addressing female readers in 18c Iberia+colonial Spanish America.

Some of them wrote that:
- They would change the pleasure of reading for nothing in the world, -Knowledge brings "immortal merit and glory"
-Women should fully use their intellectual potential
- Unequal education fosters dependence.
They'll be smiling in their graves! 😉

The University Pablo de Olavide names buildings after Spanish enlightened women of letters, several of which I've researched for years.

Today from Sicily, the most beautiful of islands, I will talk about islands and travelling with the imagination.
At 10h, Palazzo Ingrassia, Università di Catania.
CIRGEN retweeted
Today at 12h I'll inaugurate the seminar "Pensare la storia moderna" at Univ. Catania with a lecture on women, Catholicism and Enlightenment.
The location couldn't be more appropriate: "le Verginelle", a building erected by a 17c noble family to educate and moralise girls.
CIRGEN retweeted
In a few days I will be in Catania with two lectures for master's students and colleagues on women, Enlightenment and Catolicisme, and on islands and imaginary travels (in Italian).
Do join us if you happen to be in the city on 16th and 17th April!

Just arrived! Ed. José M. Imízcoz, Andoni Artola & Javier Esteban.
My chapter discusses tensions and interplays between tradition and modernity, popular and elite culture in 18c Spain:
”El proceso de civilización y sus paradojas. Tensiones y diálogos culturales".
