The Bride in the Cultural Imagination
This essay collection examines the cultural and personal world of girls and women at a time when their lives, their person, their realities, and their status are about to change forever. Together, the chapters cleverly create an in-depth study of the subject, and look at several cultural forms to offer a different approach to the popularly-held views of the bride. The critical essays in this edited collection are thematically driven and include global perspectives of the portrayals of the bride in the films, stage productions and pop-culture narratives from Nigeria; Kenya; Uganda; Tanzania; Spain; Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome; Tajikistan; India; Egypt; and the South-Eastern Indian Ocean Islands. This multinational approach provides insight into the intricacies, customs, practices, and life-styles surrounding the bride in various Eastern and Western cultures.

Las trayectorias profesionales analizadas muestran dos grandes modelos: cultas amas de casa, esposas y madres de familia o modernas profesionales diseminadas por toda España y fuera de ella. Historiográficamente considerado, este libro es un buen modelo para otras instituciones, puesto que la Universidad de Zaragoza es la primera en ofrecer su genealogía femenina.
