Although scholars often depict early modern Spanish women as victims, history and fiction of the period are filled with examples of women who defended their God-given right to make their own decisions and to define their own identities. The essays in
examine many such examples, demonstrating how women battled the status quo, defended certain causes, challenged authority, and broke barriers.
