'''Emilia Pardo Bazán''' ([[16 September]] [[1851]] – [[12 May]] [[1921]]) (also known as ''Emilia, countess de Pardo Bazán'') was a [[Spain|Spanish]] [[author]] and [[academia|scholar]].
==Life==
Bazán was born in [[A Coruña]] (also known as La Coruña or Corunna), part of the region of [[Galicia (Spain)|Galicia]], and the culture of that area was incorporated into some of her most popular [[novel]]s, including ''Los pazos de Ulloa'' (''The Manors of Ulloa'') and its sequel, ''La Madre Naturaleza'' (''Mother Nature''). She was also known for bringing [[Naturalism (literature)|naturalism]] to Spanish literature, for her detailed descriptions of reality, and for her role in feminist literature of her era.
Married at eighteen to Sr D. Jos Quiroga, a Galician country gentleman, she interested herself in [[politics]], and is believed to have taken an active part in the underground campaign against Amadeo of [[Spain]] and, later, against the republic. In [[1876]] she came into notice as the successful competitor for a literary prize offered by the municipality of [[Oviedo]], the subject of her essay being the Benedictine [[monk]], Benito Jerónimo Feijoo. This was followed by a series of articles inserted in ''La Ciencia cristiana'', a [[magazine]] of the purest orthodoxy, edited by Juan M. Orti y plana.
