Lidia Falcon O'Neill is one of the central figures of the Feminist Movement in 20th century Spain. Front-line activist, attorney, journalist, legal historian, playwright, Ph.D., and novelist, Falcon is a prolific writer. She is also the founder of the first Feminist Party in Spain. This dissertation examines Falcon's seven novels (Clara, Asesinando el pasado, Es largo esperar callado, El juego de la piel, Rupturas, Camino sin retorno, and Posmodernos) in light of their interrogation of history and of second wave feminist culture both within Spain and on the international scene. A preliminary overview of Women's Studies within Peninsular Hispanism reveals that the field has broadened and become more inclusive during the last five years, and that focus on Falcon has grown. Despite this change of tenor there persists a relative lack of critical inquiry devoted to her fictional works. This dissertation responds to this lacuna in the field.

520 $a Lidia Falcon O'Neill is one of the central figures of the Feminist Movement in 20th century Spain. Front-line activist, attorney, journalist, legal historian, playwright, Ph.D., and novelist, Falcon is a prolific writer. She is also the founder of the first Feminist Party in Spain. This dissertation examines Falcon's seven novels (Clara, Asesinando el pasado, Es largo esperar callado, El juego de la piel, Rupturas, Camino sin retorno, and Posmodernos) in light of their interrogation of history and of second wave feminist culture both within Spain and on the international scene. A preliminary overview of Women's Studies within Peninsular Hispanism reveals that the field has broadened and become more inclusive during the last five years, and that focus on Falcon has grown. Despite this change of tenor there persists a relative lack of critical inquiry devoted to her fictional works. This dissertation responds to this lacuna in the field.
520 $a A principal focus of this study is the examination of the power relations implicit in the discourse of female sexuality inscribed in Falcon's fiction. Some tools of critical analysis employed were developed by contemporary feminists who have theorized the body and the sexual discourse of power, from within Spain and internationally. This dissertation also draws on the work of Michel Foucault for the analysis of power relations in the discourse of sexuality, and to relate these to the historical context of the characters, the author herself, and second wave feminism in Spain.
520 $a Scrutinizing Falcon's portrayal of the feminist catchphrase "the personal is political," particularly regarding female sexuality and feminist consciousness, this study traces the development of a feminist ethics vis-a-vis female sexuality. Examination of this theme reveals that Falcon's discourse on sexuality is not part of a Foucauldian general deployment of sexuality which serves to manipulate and control; nor does it promote what Elizabeth Grosz calls a feminist sexual norm tainted by patriarchal ideology. What Falcon develops is a feminist counter-ethics. She creates new subject positions for women and portrays feminist role models, but eschews the dictating of norms. Thus her counter-ethics stands in contrast to the patriarchal order.
