We recently celebrated the Day of Women Writers through activities done all around the country. October 16th was the Day of Women Writers, which is celebrated on the first Monday after the feast of St. Teresa of Ávila, who is commemorated every 15 of October.

This celebration wants to vindicate "the works and the trajectory of women writers, who have been so often relegated to the background throughout history." On the Day of Women Writers, Estandarte wants to join this celebration of good literature, and for this we are recommending to you ten Spanish women writers, who should not continue to go unnoticed.

María Luisa Algarra. She was born in Barcelona in 1916, although – like many other writers of her generation – she spent her literary career in Mexico, a country to which she was exiled after the Civil War; she would die in the Mexican capital in 1957. Carmen de Burgos. Did you know that a woman had covered Federico García Lorca’s literary ground before him? A few months before the writing of Bodas de Sangre (Blood Wedding, 1931), Carmen de Burgos published the novel Puñal de claveles (Dagger of Carnations, 1931), based on the same crime.
