Abstract

The arguments on which some criticisms of Pardo Bazán are based today,questioning her feminism, are deeply misguided historically and therefore fail to realize thatPardo Bazán, it is true, was a conservative and a feminist, but not a conservative feminist. Shewas a writer and a Catholic, but not a Catholic writer. Pardo Bazán's feminism used the variouslanguages available in her time (the same as today's feminisms do) to elaborate a highly radicaland distinctly modern proposal that formed a substantial part of the double debate of the latenineteenth and early twentieth centuries on the access of the masses to politics and on women'scitizenship. More specifically, on the complex relations between religion, liberalism and earlyfeminism at a historical crossroads that she perceived, and that was, fundamental. This article isdedicated to demonstrate it.
