This volume investigates the positions of women artists, their institutional frameworks, and the role of other female actors in the art world in Ibero-America and on the Iberian Peninsula from the 19th to the late 20th century, focusing especially on the interweaving of post-/decolonial and feminist approaches. Although women artists could not simply act outside existing power systems, they could mirror them in their works – and thereby challenge them. The overlapping of different regimes of subalternity led to specific strategies of self-empowerment, such as the formation of networks. What role does the fact play that both the Iberian Peninsula and the Ibero-American countries were perceived as a cultural "periphery", although they were simultaneously divided by the colonial wound?
