Abstract
María Teresa León fue una escritora prolífica y profesional que permaneció marginada durante décadas. En la actualidad, muchas de sus obras están volviendo a editarse y, aunque en España todavía no es posible acceder con facilidad a todas ellas, sí podemos estar seguros del resurgimiento de una autora con una trayectoria literaria repleta de inquietudes personales. Algunos de los temas más significativos a los que recurre María Teresa León en sus narraciones son la infancia, el compromiso político y social, la Guerra Civil, el exilio, la vejez y la memoria. Al mismo tiempo, la escritora reflejó en sus textos una constante preocupación por el papel que ejercía la mujer de su época, especialmente en lo relativo al amor, la guerra y el exilio. Este trabajo realiza un recorrido pormenorizado por los personajes femeninos más representativos de la narrativa de María Teresa León y trata de ofrecer, en definitiva, un enfoque feminista de todos ellos sin obviar la trayectoria vital de la autora de Memoria de la melancolía.
María Teresa León was a prolific and professional author who was ignored during decades. Currently, most of her written work is being republished, thus the resurgence of an author full of curiosities can be proved. However, it is still not possible to have access to some of these works in Spain. The most common recurrent topics of the author are childhood, social and political commitment, the Spanish Civil War, exile, elderliness and memory. Concurrently, throughout her writings the author showed her constant concern about the role of women during that period. Usually, this role was related to love, war and exile. This dissertation will cover in detail the most representative female characters present in the author’s prose fiction. Therefore, a feminist view of each of them will be projected bearing in mind the professional life of the Memoria de la Melancolía’s author.
