The fierce debate that ensued among Spain's leading thinkers--politicians, academics, feminists, journalists, and others--is collected in \u003ci\u003eDivorce in Spain\u003c\/i\u003e. This milestone volume ultimately contributed to Spain's legalizing divorce in the 1930s--a victory for women's rights that was subsequently rolled back by the Franco dictatorship and not regained for over fifty years. The opinions showcased here illuminate the uniqueness of feminism in early-twentieth-century Spain: because ideas about marriage and the role of women in society were anchored in Catholic teachings, feminist arguments focused on rights to education, divorce, and employment instead of on suffrage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis volume contains discussion of Ricardo Beltrán y Rózpide's \u003ci\u003eLos pueblos hispanoamericanos en el siglo\u003c\/i\u003e (\u003ci\u003eThe Hispano-American Peoples of the Twentieth Century\u003c\/i\u003e); Jacinto Benavente y Martínez's \u003ci\u003eSacrificios\u003c\/i\u003e (\u003ci\u003eSacrifices\u003c\/i\u003e); Emile Bougaud's \u003ci\u003eHistoire de Sainte Monique\u003c\/i\u003e (\u003ci\u003eLife of Saint Monica\u003c\/i\u003e); Eugène Brieux's \u003ci\u003eLes avariés\u003c\/i\u003e (\u003ci\u003eDamaged Lives\u003c\/i\u003e) and \u003ci\u003eLe berceau\u003c\/i\u003e (\u003ci\u003eThe Cradle\u003c\/i\u003e); Alfred Capus and Emmanuel Arène's \u003ci\u003eL'adversaire\u003c\/i\u003e (\u003ci\u003eThe Adversary\u003c\/i\u003e); Gabriele D'Annunzio's \u003ci\u003eThe Dead City\u003c\/i\u003e; Joseph Delboeuf's \u003ci\u003eLa matière brute et la matière vivant: Étude sur l'origine de la vie et de la mort\u003c\/i\u003e (\u003ci\u003eRaw Matter and Living Matter: A Study on the Origin of Life and Death\u003c\/i\u003e); Dionisio Díez Enríquez's \u003ci\u003eDerecho positivo de la mujer\u003c\/i\u003e (\u003ci\u003ePositive Rights of Women\u003c\/i\u003e); Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's \u003ci\u003eElective Affinities\u003c\/i\u003e; D.
