The Feminist Double Standard and Post-Feminist Identity Problem

From Candice Bosse, Modern Languages: Gabriela Bustelo, a contemporary Spanish novelist and translator from Madrid, will visit campus on Monday, March 9, to present her views on modern feminism. She will present “The Feminist Double Standard and Post-Feminist Identity Problem,” at 7 p.m. in the Mabel Brown Room.

Bustelo has published three novels and translated several English classics, including children’s books, into Spanish. She is one of the few Spanish women writing science fiction, and commercial culture, including film, advertising, television, and pop music are among her strongest influences. Her 2001 novel Planeta Hembra, set in New York, is a dystopia on the gender crisis and a satiric overview of feminism.
