Focusing on the contributions of female novelists to Galician literature, this study highlights the recent visibility of writers like Teresa Moure, Luisa Castro, and Marta Rivera de la Cruz. It explores how their works, written in both Galician and Spanish, reflect diverse political and linguistic ideologies. Catherine Barbour argues for a broader understanding of Galician identity that encompasses the complexities of gender, language, and politics, challenging traditional institutional boundaries within the literary landscape.

This book examines contemporary women's historical fiction from global perspectives, using intersectional, transnational, and decolonial approaches. It highlights how the genre reveals women's historical experiences, challenges dominant narratives, and allows marginalized writers to reclaim memory and write overlooked stories into history.
