Abstract
In their comparative study of Medieval and Renaissance European women writers, Pamela Benson and Victoria Kirkham, exploring the relationship between Italian women writers and their English and French counterparts, assumed a "dynamic interaction" existed. Despite the absence of Spanish women writers in that collection when observing the themes and writing strategies ofModerata Fonte and Maria de Zayas Sotomayor, one can observe a number of similarities that points toward a dynamic interaction and moreover, to the transmission of proto-feminist ideas along "memory chains".
