Concepción Gimeno, agente doble cultural hispano-mexicana (1883-1909).

Concepción Gimeno de Flaquer moved to Mexico from Spain in 1883, where she founded El Álbum de la Mujer (1883-1890), one of the most important feminist journals of the epoch. This article studies the troubled waters that Gimeno had to navigate shortly after her arrival in the country, and the impact that her unconditional support of the Porfiriato had on her standing, with both the press and portions of society of the period. This text identifies several previously unknown texts and pseudonyms of the author, proposes that interdependence with the Porfiriato extended to her subsequent editorial project -El Álbum Ibero-Americano (Madrid, 1890-1909) until its conclusion-, and that this relationship may explain why the journal stopped abruptly its publication in 1909, after two decades of existence.
