Resumen
Los enemigos de la mujer (1900) is a novel by Vicente Blasco Ibáñez that examines the challenges and injustices faced by women in early 20th-century Spanish society. The story highlights the social, cultural, and familial obstacles that limit women’s autonomy and portrays the various “enemies” —both individuals and societal structures—who undermine their freedom and rights.
Blasco Ibáñez combines realist narrative techniques with psychological insight, exploring themes of gender inequality, social hypocrisy, love, and resistance.
Through his characters, the novel critiques patriarchal norms and emphasizes the strength and resilience of women navigating a male-dominated world.
By blending social commentary with compelling storytelling, the work stands as both a critique of contemporary society and a literary exploration of morality, justice, and human relationships.
