Resumen
This article deals with the reception by Rosalía de Castro of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century European and American female writers with whom she shared preocupations about authorship and gender, as well as thematic and literary concerns. Special attention will be paid to the intertextual references of the writers mentioned by the Galician author, particularly Charlotte Turner Smith and Maria Susanna Cummins, and to de Castro’s identification with these writers and their literary careers. This analysis will show that they presented issues pertaining to female foundlings, their capacities and how their abilities were not accepted in their respected societies, particularly if they wanted to behave as males would do.
