Abstract

espanolThis essay explores the sociocultural relevance acquired by women’s clothing objects in Benito Perez Galdos’s La de Bringas (1884). The garments depicted in the novel constitute a discursive space to critically approach the complex relationship women established with modernity. Through her interaction with fashion objects, protagonist Rosalia de Bringas forges a modern identity, transcending domestic boundaries marked by the patriarchal structure, beyond the conventional image of the “angel of the home”. Likewise, this article addresses the importance of urban spaces that, like the Sobrino Hermanos store depicted in La de Bringas, favored women’s entry into the public sphere in the second half of the nineteenth century. espanolEl presente articulo explora la relevancia sociocultural que adquieren los objetos de vestir femeninos en La de Bringas (1884) de Benito Perez Galdos. Las prendas en la novela conforman un espacio discursivo a partir del cual es posible aproximarse desde una lente critica a la compleja relacion que la mujer establecio con el proyecto decimononico de la modernidad. A traves de su interaccion con articulos de moda, la protagonista Rosalia de Bringas forja una identidad moderna, evadiendose de los limites domesticos marcados por la estructura patriarcal y rebasando el arraigado modelo de angel del hogar. Asimismo, este articulo analiza la emergencia de espacios urbanos que, como el comercio Sobrino Hermanos retratado en La de Bringas, favorecieron el ingreso de la mujer en la esfera publica de la segunda mitad del XIX.
