Carolina Fernández Rodríguez is an Associate Professor at the University of Oviedo (Spain), 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 written three books and several articles. More recently, she has been interested in the representation of latinidades in American literature and mass media, and in issues related to multiculturalism as portrayed in children’s and young adults’ literature. In 2016 she started working on the genre of popular romance, and published articles on Nora Roberts’s Boonsboro trilogy and on WWII romances by Chamorro/CHamoru writers (from the island of Guam/Guåhån), among other topics. She has also authored a book on historical romances: American Quaker Romances: Building the Myth of the White Christian Nation (University of Valencia, 2021).
