The Journal of Avant-Garde Studies (JAGS) and its guest editors invite submissions for the special issue “Las Vanguardistas: Spanish Women Poets in Transnational Contexts (1920–1975)”.

By proposing this special issue, we aim to foster a global understanding of avant-garde movements and highlight the key role of Spanish women poets in the transnational avant-garde scene from the 1920s to the 1970s. To this end, we welcome academic articles that focus on, but are not limited to, the following topics:

- Transnational Literary Networks between Spanish, European and Latin American Women Poets.

- Spanish Women and the Avant-Garde Press: Women’s Contributions to Avant-Garde Magazines.

We are especially interested in soliciting chapters featuring non-Western perspectives and work by scholars of colour.

We hope to include work from both established and emerging scholars; junior scholars & graduate students are also encouraged to apply.
