Poetics and politics in children and young adult literature: "poelitics" of Ana Maria Machado, Mariasun Landa, María Ángeles Millán, Noemí Villamuza

Abstract

Ana Maria Machado, Mariasun Landa, Noemí Villamuza and María Ángeles Millán are the guests invited to inaugurate the new section of “Women’s Voices in Children’s and Young People’s Literature in the 21st Century”. This section was born in volume 3 of Ondina-Ondine, illuminating with its words, images and metaphors, the insights of literature and literary education for children and young people from a gender perspective. This article presents the literary, research and artistic path of these four women. It could be said that it addresses not only their poetics and politics but also their ethics and aesthetics around literature and feminism.
Keywords: Ana Maria Machado, Mariasun Landa, María Ángeles Millán, Noemí Villamuza, children’s and young people’s literature, gender Studies.
