Reflective Course Narrative
I was excited to take this course. I had heard it was very interesting and that the professor was wonderful. Both things turned out to be true. It was a great class to learn from literature about the women throughout history in Spain. We were able to see the changes in society regarding women throughout the years. We started with books like La regenta and then saw more modern works such as Las trece rosas that was a real story about rebellious women during the Spansh Civil War. We also saw how women were not allowed to choose who they married and were hardly able to give their opinions on any such matters. We saw how even today women are still somewhat oppressed. This day in age (even if it is to a lesser degree) Spain continues to be very machista.
