Kiosk literature marked in early twentieth-century Spain a revolution in mass print culture, one that responded to and informed evolving literary tastes among an increasingly literate public. Thousands of works were published in dozens of popular literary collections between 1907 and 1939. The present study offers an introduction to the women writers of kiosk literature. Although a small percentage of the overall number of works, a group of approximately fifty of the most influential women of their age contributed over three hundred and fifty works of kiosk literature. Given kiosk literature’s inherent relationship to modernity, I argue that female-authored kiosk literature gives us unique insight into the diverse ways in which women writers carved out their own space in a male-dominated literary scene and engaged with questions surrounding Spain’s modernization, gender relations, the relationship between gender and modernity, and the gendering of literary genres
