Abstract

Single women were often ridiculed in the popular culture and in the intellectual discourse in nineteenth-and twentieth-century Spain. Existing works on this subject have tended to interpret this as a sign of rejection and/or of fear concerning the subversive potential of a woman remaining single. Basing ourselves on recent research on gender in Catholic thought, we nonethe-less argue that celibacy —provided it followed certain rules— was not only accepted, but held in great regard in Spanish society of that period. While the historiography has construed the notion that there were, basically, two dignified states for a woman in the Catholic political culture: the re-ligious celibacy and marriage, we argue that a third way existed and was explicitly defended: «sec-ular» celibacy. To analyse this issue, we explore the shifting hierarchy of prestige of the different models of femininity in the long run.

Impact and social visibility

From the perspective of influence or social adoption, and based on metrics associated with mentions and interactions provided by agencies specializing in calculating the so-called "Alternative or Social Metrics," we can highlight as of 2025-08-02:

  • The use, from an academic perspective evidenced by the Altmetric agency indicator referring to aggregations made by the personal bibliographic manager Mendeley, gives us a total of: 5.
  • The use of this contribution in bookmarks, code forks, additions to favorite lists for recurrent reading, as well as general views, indicates that someone is using the publication as a basis for their current work. This may be a notable indicator of future more formal and academic citations. This claim is supported by the result of the "Capture" indicator, which yields a total of: 10 (PlumX).

With a more dissemination-oriented intent and targeting more general audiences, we can observe other more global scores such as:

  • The Total Score from Altmetric: 1.5.
  • The number of mentions on the social network X (formerly Twitter): 2 (Altmetric).
