UCOPress, the publishing house of the University of Córdoba, together with the Leonor de Guzmán Chair in Women’s Studies, has just published British Women Travellers in Andalusia. Travel Writing as Pretext and Challenge, by Marta Miranda, in the Leonor de Guzmán National Essay Prize collection.

The work highlights the role of British women who travelled through Andalusia between the 18th and 20th centuries and whose chronicles, despite their literary quality, have remained outside the traditional canon. From a perspective that integrates gender studies and translation, the essay examines how these authors offered alternative, intimate, and complex views of southern Spain, while also challenging the dominant narratives of travel literature, largely written by men.

Marta Miranda, PhD in Languages and Cultures from the University of Córdoba and winner of the 28th Leonor de Guzmán National Essay Prize, offers a critical and interdisciplinary perspective that helps to recover these silenced voices and to reaffirm the need to review the literary legacy through more inclusive approaches.

The book also includes illustrations by the author herself, which make it possible to get closer to these women travellers and put faces to names that, for far too long, have remained in the background.
