condesa de Emilia Pardo Bazán
1852–1921
A bold, brilliant voice in Spanish literature, she helped bring naturalism into the mainstream while writing novels, essays, criticism, and short fiction with unusual range. Her work also pushed fiercely against the limits placed on women writers in her time.

About the author
Born in A Coruña, Spain, Emilia Pardo Bazán y de la Rúa-Figueroa was a novelist, journalist, critic, poet, playwright, editor, translator, and professor. Reliable reference sources describe her as a major Spanish author and a key figure in introducing literary naturalism to Spain, especially through her influential 1883 essay La cuestión palpitante.
She is especially remembered for novels such as Los pazos de Ulloa and for a body of work that moved easily between fiction and literary debate. Modern reference works also note her outspoken support for women's education and intellectual independence, which has made her an important early feminist voice in Spanish letters.
Although she is often styled as a countess, the dates attached to her in major reference sources are 1851–1921, with birth on September 16, 1851, and death on May 12, 1921. Her reputation has only grown over time, and she remains one of the most widely studied writers of nineteenth-century Spain.
