Mujeres de Ingenio: Golden Age Women Writers Exhibition at Lope de Vega House Museum

This exhibition aims to highlight the work of often-overlooked women writers from the Golden Age, recovering their contributions to art, literature, and culture. It features nine sections divided into three thematic areas: the court, the home, and the cloister, showcasing their books, manuscripts, and personal environments.

The exhibition 'Mujeres de ingenio. Plumas de Oro en el Siglo de las Letras' (Women of Ingenuity. Golden Quills in the Century of Letters) seeks to promote artistic, literary, historical, and cultural heritage by rediscovering the work of women who are barely present in the canon and largely unknown outside academic circles. Among these are figures like Luisa Sigea, Olivia Sabuco, María de Guevara, Ana Caro Mallén, Feliciana Enríquez de Guzmán, María de Zayas, Teresa de Jesús, and Lope de Vega's own daughter, Marcela. The exhibition is structured into nine sections, further divided into three major parts that reflect the typical writing environments of these women: the court, the home, and the cloister. Curated by Doctor and Professor of Spanish Literature Esther Borrego Gutiérrez (Complutense University), the exhibition aims to bring the faces of these forgotten women, their books, manuscripts, signatures, and material contexts to the public through visual and textual means.

Entry to the exhibition is free and open to the public, though capacity is limited. The exhibition is open from Tuesday to Sunday, 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, and is closed on Mondays.
