In episode 18 of Latin American Divas, “Gertrudis Gómez de Avellaneda. ‘Sab,’ America's First Abolitionist Novel, 1841”
I. A brief summary of Gertrudis Gómez de Avellaneda’s life. Also known as TULA to her friends and for us too. That name is too much work even for her (1. Summary of Romanticism; 2. Tula’s rejection of contemporary expectations of femininity, mainly marriage; 3. Association with Cuban Abolitionism).
II. Sab (1841) - a precursor to Cuba’s abolitionist and independence movements (1. characters - Cuba’s dependence on foreign prestige applied to marriage; 2. chapter 1 - European and American Romanticism; 3. Sab’s Letter to Teresa-a Feminist/Abolitionist Manifesto).
In the next episode, S1E19, we explore “Clorinda Matto de Turner’s “Birds Without a Nest.” Romanticism’s Indigenista Novel, 1889.”
