This volume offers a unique transnational and transhistorical exploration of the relationship between women and the Gothic in Spain and the Americas. By examining how women writers have reimagined Gothic conventions, the book delves into the intersection of gender, culture, and fear. It highlights how themes such as domestic abuse, alienation, and death have been transformed over time, with particular attention to feminist perspectives and shifting degrees of agency. Contributors analyse a diverse range of authors, from the 19th century to the present, revealing how women’s Gothic narratives challenge societal norms and offer new possibilities for empowerment. Exploring historical, ecological, and cultural concerns, this volume is an essential resource for anyone interested in the evolving role of women in the Gothic.
