| Summary: | The 19th century was a key period in several European countries for the evolution of the concept and legalization of divorce. This article explores the tensions between the Catholic tradition, which regarded marriage as indissoluble, and the liberal movements advocating for individual rights, particularly those of women trapped in abusive marriages. Through a comparative analysis of the socio-legal contexts of France and Spain and their reflection on the professionalization process of female writers (Pilar Sinués, Casta Esteban Navarro, Emilia Pardo Bazán, Julia Codorniu, Rosario de Acuña, Carmen de Burgos), it examines how the debate (or silence) surrounding divorce reveals not only the social structures of the time but also its influence on the formation of female authorial consciousness and its implications for creative practice. |
