Las Raras: Feminine Style, Intellectual Networks, and Women Writers During Spanish-American Modernismo - Paperbackby Sarah Moody (Author) Las Raras proposes that the Modernistas' advocacy for a writing style they considered feminine helps us to understand why so few (and perhaps no) women were accepted as active participants in Modernismo. Author Sarah Moody studies how particular writers contributed to the idea of a feminine aesthetic and tracks the intellectual networks of Modernismo through periodicals and personal papers, such as albums and correspondence.
