Book Presentation in Madrid: Concepción Gimeno de Flaquer (1850–1919): Cartas, cuentos cortos y artículos periodísticos by Ana Isabel Simón Alegre
We are delighted to announce the presentation of a Vernon Press title, 'Concepción Gimeno de Flaquer (1850–1919): Cartas, cuentos cortos y artículos periodísticos,' taking place in Madrid on Sunday, May 25, at 7:00 PM.
Hosted at Librería Sin Tarima, a vibrant cultural hub located at Calle de la Magdalena, Madrid, the event promises an engaging evening of literary discussion and historical reflection.
The book's author, Ana Isabel Simón Alegre, will be joined by Elena Hernández Sandoica, Professor at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid, for a conversation about the life and work of Concepción Gimeno de Flaquer—a pioneering Spanish writer, journalist, and intellectual whose voice remains strikingly relevant today.
Published by Vernon Press in 2023, the volume offers an essential recovery of Gimeno de Flaquer’s legacy through a carefully curated selection of her letters, short stories, and journalistic articles. This bilingual, annotated edition invites readers into the richly textured world of a woman who challenged gender norms and played a crucial role in 19th-century Spanish and Latin American public life.
Whether you are a scholar of women’s writing, feminist history, Spanish literature, or simply an admirer of rediscovered voices, this event is not to be missed.
