Irudikapenetik esperientziara: euskal literaturaren ikerketa feministaren hastapenak XX. mendearen bukaeran

From the 80s on, contributions to Basque literary criticism and research from feminist perspectives began to appear. An analysis of this tendency has been made through three publications: Hogoigarren mendeko emakumeak idazle: antologia eta ohar batzuk by Itxaro Borda (1984), the Emakumea eta literatura issue of the journal Jakin (1987) and Linda White’s thesis Emakumeen hitzak euskaraz: Basque Women Writers of the Twentieth Century (1996). Moreover, we have compared these three sources to existing analogous trends in anthropology and art. We emphasize that they proposed a turn from the archetypical to actual experience, based on the diversity of female experiences.
