SUMMARY:

In the novel La familia del Comendador by Juana Manso, published in 1854, the future of the protagonist character, Gabriela, is to marry her uncle, as it has been designated by her family. In an attempt to escape from such forced marriage, Gabriela goes to a nunnery. However, instead of encountering a shelter in that religious place, the girl ends up being imprisoned and forced to become a nun. By addressing the conflicts faced by Gabriela, the novel plays an important role in denouncing the oppression of women. Thus, the aim of this qualitative study is to characterize the representation of the oppression of women in the novel La familia del Comendador. To achieve this goal, we adopt the theoretical framework of the feminist literary criticism (Zolin, 2012; 2010; Golubov, 2020), employing an interdisciplinary approach. We rely on the contributions from women's history (Lerner, 2019; Perrot, 2019) and from philosophy (Davis, 2016). The outcomes suggest that, in that literary work, family and religion are the quintessential domains of oppression of women, that is, what preserves the submission condition ascribed to women; and, besides that, the position assumed by Juana Manso is in line with the claims and critique put forward in her newspaper articles “Casamento” and “A mulher”, which were published in the same decade as the novel.
