The “Miscellany” section collects works on Galician women writers and feminist criticism. Critical analyses of monograph length studies on literature and translation comprise the “Reviews” section. It is published simultaneously in print and electronically, as an e-book (see Publicacions i Edicions de la Universitat de Barcelona).
