Female images in the popular poetry of the Silver Age spanish women writers (1900-1936)

In recent decades, there has been an important effort to recover and make visible the women poets who were active in the first third of the 20th century. This has result-ed in an expansion of the corpus and in a better knowledge of the biographical and literary trajectories of many of these figures. In this article we make an approach to the poetic production of some of these authors who to date have received less critical attention and who cultivated a type of popular poetry which followed the character-istics of this genre without incorporating many innovations. When carrying out the analysis of this corpus of lyrical texts, a gender approach will be adopted. After an introductory section referred to textual issues, the article focuses on the study of the female identity models in these authors' books and pays attention to two subjects that have traditionally been considered key in the definition of female identity: the config-uration of gender roles in romantic relationships and the experience of motherhood in connection with the representation of childhood.
