Throughout the 19th century, three great historical phenomena occurred that changed the sign of the times: the consolidation of the newly independent American nations, which redefined the notion of "Hispanic", the appearance of the new neo-imperial rhetorics, where the The United States will have a priority role, and the incorporation of women in the intellectual and professional world, accompanied by the push of the first feminisms. From the study of travel literature between the United States, Spain and Latin America, but also of a large number of miscellaneous genres that address this transatlantic relationship, while from the new models of being a woman (intellectual, artist or writer), this The book tries to find crossing points, which allow us to understand a complex era and the network of relationships that configure it as a mosaic that anticipates the present.
