A challenge to traditional male-centred accounts of the book world in 1820s' Buenos Aires.
The woman question was a subject of discussion in post-independence Buenos Aires, reflected in the press and in the book world where writers contemplated the nature, role and status of women, linking the subject to topics such aspolitical transition, reform, modernisation, regional conflict and patriotic culture.
This examination of a varied body of works dating from the 1820s, consisting of pamphlets, a history book, conduct literature and periodical literature, demonstrates the impact of transatlantic print networks such as the book trade, and translations from Britain, France, and Spain.
Developing our understanding of the post-independence cultural landscape, the study investigates a hitherto unexamined debate that was at the heart of state building in Buenos Aires. It simultaneously challenges traditional male-centred accounts of the period and serves as a counterpoint to historic feministapproaches to print culture.

LITERARY CRITICISM / European / Spanish & Portuguese, Literature: history and criticism
[This] book is, and will continue to be for years to come, a necessity for all readers interested in Argentina's early nineteenth century and the debates surrounding the role of women in national life as the recently independent region began the protracted process of nation formation. [...] Women and Print Culture in Post-Independence Buenos Aires is, without doubt, the most significant piece of scholarship on this period and this topic that has been published in years. It will also, no doubt, continue to be an invaluable guide for scholars in future years.
