        While it is evident that there have been outstanding women authors of the fantastic in Spain and Latin America since the nineteenth century, it is not as clear whether these writers are fairly represented in the corpus available to readers. To what extent are women authors part of the fantastic canon? Are there female reference points for new generations of women writers? To explore processes of canon formation in the literature of the fantastic from a feminist perspective, this article gathers paratexts from 110 anthologies. Employing a quantitative approach with regard to indexed authors, the first section addresses specific questions related to gender and the fantastic in the Hispanic context by analysing statistical data. The empirical study is complemented by an analysis of how the female author is presented and constructed through the discourse in introductions, forewords and other paratextual materials of these anthologies.
        Es obvio que desde el siglo XIX hay excelentes voces femeninas en la literatura fantástica española y latinoamericana pero no resulta tan evidente que estas escritoras cuenten con la representación merecida en el corpus. ¿En qué medida forman parte estas escritoras del canon fantástico? Existen puntos de referencia femeninos para las nuevas generaciones de escritoras? Para investigar los procesos de formación del canon en la literatura fantástica desde una perspectiva feminista, este artículo reúne paratextos de 110 antologías. Con un enfoque cuantitativo en lo que concierne a los índices de autores y autoras, a través del análisis estadístico la primera parte muestra cómo se interrelacionan el género y lo fantástico en el contexto hispánico. Este estudio empírico es complementado por una segunda parte en que se analiza cómo la figura de la autora es presentada en las introducciones, los prefacios y otros elementos paratextuales en estas antologías.
