After the printing press was invented by Johannes Gutenberg, the expansion that this new technique gave to books and documents contributed to increase the social role of women.  Researchers from the universities of Santiago de Compostela, Salamanca, Cagliari (Italy), Roma Tre, La Sapienza (Roma), Klagenfurt (Austria), Warwick (United Kingdom), Craiova (Poland) and València debated surrounding this fact.

The sessions took place in 18th and 19th December from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Board Room of the Faculty of Philology, Translation and Communication of the Universitat de València.

Pedro Cátedra, Amedeo Quondam, Antonina Paba, María Dolores Sánchez, Massimiliano Spiga, Paolo Caboni, Nicoletta Bazzano, Rita Fresu, Anna Laura Puliafito, Benedict Buono, Gonaria Floris, Elisa De Roberto, Raymund Wilhelm, Oana Sambrian and Júlia Benavent took part in these sessions.

Congress sessions admission was free.
