In this episode, hosts Brooke Crittenden and Louis Altman collide gender theory with Caro's play to think through the ways honor and space are gendered onstage and off. They introduce the notion of the mujer varonil and consider Caro's use of this trope in her creation of Leonor in comparison to the kinds of "manly women" created by her (male) contemporaries. How does honor look for women and men in Spanish Golden Age drama? And what do horror movies have to teach us about gendered honor?
