Rosario de Acuña: a feminist genealogy of animalism in nineteenth-century literature
Abstract
Feminist genealogy allows us to point the lines between the present and the past of creative women, which Historiography or the literary canon have erased, interested only in the work of men. Nowadays, Ecofeminism and animalism are part of the most important critical movements of the contemporary social system. In this text, we will try to show how the basic theoretical principles that this feminist current maintains, was shaped in the most radical movements of the 19th and early 20th centuries. The work of Rosario de Acuña is a sample of this critical and vindictive literature, which raised more than a century and a half ago, the need to live in a balanced way with nature.
