$Gothic Gendering: Exploring the Portrayal of \u201cFeminine Madness\u201d in Mexican Literature$

Join Dr. Pilar Melero as she examines the portrayal of women in Mexican gothic literature. Examining mythical constructs of femininity in their sociohistorical context, Dr. Melero explores the gendered spaces that hold women captive (in life and in literature) and how characters ultimately tread their own paths to liberation. Registration is not required. This event will take place in Stackner Ballroom.
Dr. Melero is an esteemed professor of Spanish and Latin American/Latinx literature at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, a former journalist, and the author of four books.
