Gertrudis Gómez de Avellaneda undoubtedly stood out in her time both for the relevance she acquired in the most select circles of Elizabethan society and for her unquestionable literary successes, which have made her a key figure in Spanish-American Romanticism. This article examines how she contributed to the configuration of the liberal discourse on the gendered order of society from that privileged position, analysing her novels and the influence that her own life and the historical context had on them, in an attempt to understand why she moved from the unquestionable subversion of her early works to the apparent conservatism of her later years.
