Abstract

This feminist critique examines the novel Cronica del desamor by Rosa Montero and its presentation of the silencing of the female voice in Spain during the Democratic Transition. In particular, it analyzes the experiences of female characters in the novel, who find themselves silenced in professional, familial, and sexual situations. Furthermore, this article considers female authorship within Montero’s novel and proposes that this authorship presents an opportunity for self-expression not only to the women in the novel, but also, though metafiction, to the women of the real world.
