Elvira Lindo and the Literature on Mother-Child Relations From the Perspective of Feminist Criticism

Abstract

Elvira Lindo stands out in her literary criticism for having a feminist perspective since she focuses on bringing to light women writers and issues relegated by patriarchy. The analyses that we will see in this work, focused on authors such as Schrobsdorff, Strout and Gornick, dismantle patriarchal constructions related to motherhood and enrich literary history. The objective of this article will be to study how Elvira Lindo, carries out, intentionally or not, making the work of these women visible and elevating their themes to the category of universal issues, precisely because throughout history they have been considered, in a discriminatory way, “women’s issues”.
