The Theatre Of Galdós

In this play, Galdoss concept of la mujer nueva is incarnated in his new heroine, Isidora, whose willpower or womanpower he acknowledged as having been directly inspired by his leading lady, Maria Guerrero. For the feminist, the triumphant Isidora of Voluntad is one of Galdoss more satisfying heroines, as traditional binary oppositions are broken down and the new woman is allowed to spread her wings and take control.
