The Routledge Research Companion to Early Modern Spanish Women Writers (New York: Routledge, 2018) has been awarded The Society for the Study of Early Modern Women and Gender’s (SSEMWG) prize for the best collaborative project on women and gender published in 2018. Professor Francomano is one of the contributing authors of the Companion. Her chapter on the querella de las mujeres is part of the first section of the book, which in the words of the prize committee, “sets the stage” for a book that “takes collaboration as its organizing principle, focusing on the social dynamics of female literary production rather than on individual writers or comparisons of female and male authors. The committee especially underscored the superb job [the authors] did laying out a new history that demonstrates ‘women’s collaborative efforts in successfully forging their own discursive space’.”
