The writer, communicator and art historian Ángeles Caso vindicated today in Benicàssim the role of women in literature throughout the centuries and asked the public to get rid of stereotypes and prejudices when talking about literature written by women, which has always existed and has been developed with great quality and with works of reference despite the difficulties that their authors had to overcome. "The traditional view of the past has been purely patriarchal and we must overcome it", she said.  
  
Ángeles Caso, who gave the inaugural lecture of the summer course "Women in literature: great female characters and female writers" with which the Universitat Jaume I closes its Summer University, recalled the fictional character of Judith Shakespeare, created by Virginia Woolf in *A Room of One's Own* to highlight the problems that a hypothetical sister of the English playwright would have had to face if she had wanted to become a writer.

The course was inaugurated by the rector of the Universitat Jaume I, Eva Alcón, the mayoress of Benicàssim, Susana Marqués, and the writer and director of the Summer University of the UJI, Santiago Posteguillo. In her speech, Alcón thanked the Benicàssim Town Council for its collaboration in hosting this training course and the Vice-rectorate for Culture and Institutional Relations for all the work carried out to make it possible. Rector Alcón also pointed out "the need to incorporate the female dimension in literature and the importance of having references that serve to highlight and recognise the figure of women".  
  
In turn, Santiago Posteguillo pointed out that Sappho, the poet of Lesbos, represents the origin of Western literature, which cannot be understood without women. Finally, the mayoress of Benicàssim thanked the UJI for its commitment to education and for making Benicàssim the headquarters of its Summer University.
