Alda Blanco
Professor, Ph. D., University of California-San Diego
Professor Blanco specializes in contemporary Spanish literature and culture,

intersection between gender and cultural production. Her book, "Escritoras virtuosas: narradoras de la domesticidad en la Españ
a isabelina," studies an important, but nevertheless forgotten, generation of Spanish women writers. She has also published on
the feminist author, María Martínez Sierra. Currently she is working on a book-length project titled,
"Writing the Spanish Empire."
