Gabriela Mistral and Victoria Ocampo were the two most influential
and respected women writers of twentieth-century Latin America.
Mistral, a plain, self-educated Chilean woman of the mountains who
was a poet, journalist, and educator, became Latin America's first
Nobel Laureate in 1945. Ocampo, a stunning Argentine woman of
wealth, wrote hundreds of essays and founded the first-rate
literary journal Sur. Though of very different backgrounds, their
deep commitment to what they felt was "their" America forged a
unique intellectual and emotional bond between them. This
collection of the previously unpublished correspondence between
Mistral and Ocampo reveals the private side of two very public
women. In these letters (as well as in essays that are included in
an appendix), we see what Mistral and Ocampo thought about each
other and about the intellectual and political atmosphere of their
time (including the Spanish Civil War, World War II, and the
dictatorships of Latin America) and particularly how they
negotiated the complex issues of identity, nationality, and gender
within their wide-ranging cultural connections to both the Americas
and Europe.
