She was a pioneer in introducing naturalism to Spain and a woman committed to women's rights. In 1916, she was appointed professor, becoming the first woman to hold that position in Spain. Despite her many achievements and her immense body of work, which includes novels such as \u003ci\u003eThe Manor of Ulloa\u003c\/i\u003e, she was never admitted to the Royal Spanish Academy due to her gender.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 114\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Emilia Pardo Bazán\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Nórdica Libros\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEdition:\u003c\/b\u003e 2023\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788418451812\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Nórdica Libros","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50426611630406,"sku":"Est2\/Bal5","price":20.42,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0797\/5590\/3302\/files\/LacitaA_e35eae24-eca8-4aa7-8d27-7c10512f0312.webp?v=1749917943","url":"https:\/\/libreriacasadrojan.com\/en\/products\/la-cita-y-otros-cuentos-de-terror-ilustrado","provider":"Librería Casa Drojan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
