Abstract


Don Antonio Maura held correspondence with three renowned women writers from 1901 until he died in 1925: Emilia Pardo Bazán, Sofía Casanova y Concha Espina. The way he supported them —once as a member of the Royal Spanish Language Academy and later as Director— for the award of various prizes, his signature for Sofía Casanova´s and Concha Espina´s candidature for the Nobel prize and his favourable opinion about women gaining admittance to the Academy reveal him as an exception in those days.
