Bonnie Frederick (PhD, University of Arizona, 1983) is a Full Professor in the Spanish and Hispanic Studies Department, where she teaches Latin American literature and culture, as well as the Spanish language. She has also taught such diverse courses as Women’s Studies, Spanish for Veterinarians, and World Civilizations. She was Chair of the Spanish and Hispanic Studies Department at TCU for six years, and Chair of Foreign Languages at Washington State University for four years.

Her research interests focus on women’s literary culture in the Spanish-speaking world. Examples of her publications in this area include Wily Modesty: Argentine Women Writers 1870-1910 (Arizona State Center for Latin American Studies, 1998) and “Harriet Beecher Stowe and the Virtuous Mother: Argentina, 1852-1910.” Journal of Women’s History (Spring 2006): 101-120. However, she has also published outside that area, as evidenced by Spanish for Veterinarians: A Practical Introduction (Co-authored with Juan Mosqueda. Blackwell, 2008. Second edition, extensively revised and expanded). Her current research project is on the traditional Moorish-Spanish house and its role in women’s poetry.
