Focusing on female actors in seventeenth-century Spain, this study delves into their representation and training within the context of early modern theater. Elizabeth Marie Cruz Petersen analyzes comedias by notable playwrights like Lope de Vega and Ana Caro, alongside historical documents and treatises, to reveal the complexities of women's roles and experiences in a male-dominated artistic landscape. The work highlights the intersection of performance, gender, and societal expectations in shaping women's theatrical presence during this era.
