Retratadas. Fotografía, género y modernidad en el siglo XIX español — Stéphany Onfray, 2025

A timely and necessary volume, Retratadas dives deep into the visual const ruction of femininity in 19th-century Spain, focusing on the layered role photography played in shaping gender and modern subjectivity. Written by historian and curator Stéphany Onfray, and published by Cátedra in 2025, the book draws from a rich visual archive of cartes de visite, studio portraits, and early photographic experiments to analyse how women — posed, costumed, anonymised or defiant — emerged within the medium’s formative years.
