El otro Centenario: visiones femeninas del Quijote en 1905

The III Centenary of Don Quixote in 1905 was the ephemeris that came to channel the desire for national regeneration following the disaster of ’98, but what has not been pointed out so far, nor has it been given the importance it deserves, is that some Spanish women writers reinterpreted in a feminist key the national symbols of that regeneration, that is, they used Don Quixote and Dulcinea as tools for their claims, demanding a change in the lives of women, and defending their inclusion into higher education. Likewise, they took the opportunity to weave networks of scholarly women and to instruct other women, giving rise to a parallel centenary, to another centenary, which was developed on the margins of the official and, as such, deserves to be analysed.
