Leonor López de Córdoba and the Poetics of Women's Autobiography

Abstract

early part of the fifteenth century.^Herproject was remarkable both for its genre and her gender: the Memorias is Castile's first autobiography;^Leonor López de Córdoba is Castile's first woman writer.Yet, while those who study the text cali Leonor a woman writer, they al- ways add that this designation is "stretching a point" (Deyermond 29).For in fact, the Memorias has been taken to be a text heavily reworked and re- written by a man.The dominant view is that Leonor dictated her auto- biography to a male notary who tried his best to make her illogical and fragmentary self-representation sound orderly and effective.
