Desde Emilia Pardo Bazán: acerca de la literatura policial escrita por mujeres en España
Abstract
In this article we intend to draw a path through the crime fiction written by women in Spain, from Pardo Bazán’s novel, La gota de sangre (1911), to the present day, reviewing the circumstances that led to this type of narrative being marginalized. Then, we analyze two key moments in the history of the genre written by women: first, in the impact of the Catalan women who published in the Ofèlia Dracs collection in the 1980s; second, at the beginning of the boom from the series of inspector Petra Delicado, created by Alicia Giménez Bartlett in the 1990s. Anchored in the present, we review how the linguistic differences of the Spanish crime fiction novels constitute a heterogeneous map that, however, has the same issues and makeup the same editorial phenomenon.
