Critical Thought and Feminism in the Spanish Enlightenment
Abstract
The following is a brief description of several examples of the critical and feminist thought prevailing during the Spanish Enlightenment. To bring its particular features into sharper focus we first compare it with the feminist thought that evolved during the French Enlightenment, and then with Spanish non-feminist Enlightenment thought. By looking at these examples we will show how this feminist thought focused very specifically on the notion of subject, which was itself shaped by the drive to bring about a new model of state and society.
