- Abstract
Literary anthologies have traditionally been a preferential channel for the dissemination of poetry among young readers, as well as a fundamental pedagogical resource for poetry education in academic contexts. Both uses alone justify the interest in ensuring that the authors and texts they include sufficiently represent the richness and complexity of a genre which, in the Spanish-speaking world, is currently undergoing a phase of expansion and a search for new paths. Added to this is the need to make visible those creators who, because they are women, have traditionally been silenced and left on the margins of the history of literature and of the channels destined to the dissemination of cultural heritage. Starting from these premises, after a brief historical contextualisation, this paper examines a corpus of fourteen children's poetry anthologies, published between 2000 and 2020, with the aim of analysing the presence and visibility of female authors of poetry. The results reveal a significant gender bias, incompatible with the values prevailing in the current socio-cultural context, which diverts attention from the thematic and formal peculiarities of poetry written by women, as well as silencing younger voices.
