THE INFLUENCE OF THE FIGURE AND WORK OF ROSALÍA DE CASTRO IN GALICIA OVERSEAS AND THE FEMALE PARTICIPATION IN THE EMIGRATION CONTEXT

Abstract

The present article, an important part of the master's research of both researchers, aims to understand the historical influence of the migration process that ravaged Galicia between the end of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth century through the eyes of Rosalía de Castro. Although her work is dated to the end of the nineteenth century, the consequences of her productions went beyond, affecting the construction process of migration for Galicians in the new world, who consider Rosalía a symbol of the narrative of the pains and consequences of flight in the region. We also verified how the author dedicates a part of Follas Novas to Galician women, an important topic in her work. The methodology used went through the bibliographical analysis of different authors and themes, taking into consideration the different views on the Galician migratory process and the constructions of Rosalía's works.
