The Hermandad Lírica (Lyrical Sisterhood) was the name given to a group of 19th century Spanish Romantic women poets who congregated and gave each other mutual support. Their salon examined literature and the issues facing Spain in the 19th century.[1] Their first publications started around 1840. The driving force in the group was the poet Carolina Coronado.[2] The body of their work was homoerotic; directed at other women, often other poets. After twenty years the group began to wane and their work began to be discredited and ignored.[by whom?][3]
In addition to Coronado, members of the group included Vicenta García Miranda, Teresa Verdejo y Durán [es], Amalia Fenollosa [es], Rogelia León, María del Pilar Sinués, Ángela Grassi, Manuela Cambronero, Dolores Cabrera y Heredia and Robustiana Armiño [es], among others.[4]
