   Excellent list! My favorite one is “Concepción Gimeno de Flaquer (1850-1919):Her Personal Letters, Short Stories, and Journalism”
   by Ana I. Simon Alegre because it brilliantly combines historical research with a critical-literary approach, providing an invaluable insight into the life and works of an extraordinary writer and activist whose contributions were previously hidden from modern readers. This book not only sheds light on Concepción Gimeno de Flaquer’s transatlantic impact but also showcases her dedication to abolitionist causes, education, and feminism, making it a compelling and inspiring read for anyone interested in history, literature, and the untold stories of pioneering women.
