Carolina Fernández Rodríguez is an Associate Professor at the University of Oviedo, where she teaches American Literatures and Cultures. Her research focuses on contemporary women’s writing. Early on in her career she focused on feminist revisions of fairy tales, a topic on which she has published extensively. More recently, she has been interested in the representation of latinidades in American literature and mass media, and in issues related to multiculturalism in children’s and young adults’ literature. In 2016 she started working on the genre of popular romance, publishing articles on Nora Roberts and on romances by Chamorro writers, as well as a book on historical romances: American Quaker Romances: Building the Myth of the White Christian Nation (University of Valencia, 2021). She has also written a few short stories, like “El juego del escondite,” which received an award in 2010 in Miranda de Ebro (Burgos), and “Credo,” published in Raudem (vol. 7, 2019: 217-220).
