Take Six: Six Spanish Women Writers

By Simon Deefholts

Take Six: Six Spanish Women Writers is an anthology of short stories by six outstanding Spanish women writers: Emilia Pardo Baz?n (1851-1921), Carmen de Burgos (1867-1932), Carmen Laforet (1921-2004), Cristina Fern?ndez Cubas (born 1945), Soledad Pu?rtolas (born 1947) and Patricia Erl?s (born 1972).

The stories span over one hundred years, starting with the indomitable Emilia Pardo Baz?n, whose casual and often humorous protrayal of brutal domestic violence set a paradigm for the writers who followed her to explore every aspect of the roles imposed on women by a male-dominated society, delving into subjects ranging from love and betrayal to bereavement, arson and murder, without losing touch with the humorous side of seemingly impossible situations.
