There is a wealth of published literature in English by Latin
American women writers, but such material can be difficult to
locate due to the lack of available bibliographic resources. In
addition, the various types of published narrative (short stories,
novels, novellas, autobiographies, and biographies) by Latin
American women writers has increased significantly in the last ten
to fifteen years. To address the lack of bibliographic resources,
Kathy Leonard has compiled Latin American Women Writers: A Resource
Guide to Titles in English. This reference includes all forms of
narrative-short story, autobiography, novel, novel excerpt, and
others-by Latin American women dating from 1898 to 2007. More than
3,000 individual titles are included by more than 500 authors. This
includes nearly 200 anthologies, more than 100
autobiographies/biographies or other narrative, and almost 250
novels written by more than 100 authors from 16 different
countries. For the purposes of this bibliography, authors who were
born in Latin America and either continue to live there or have
immigrated to the United States are included. Also, titles of
pieces are listed as originally written, in either Spanish or
Portuguese. If the book was originally written in English, a phrase
to that effect is included, to better reflect the linguistic
diversity of narrative currently being published. This volume
contains seven indexes: Authors by Country of Origin,
Authors/Titles of Work, Titles of Work/Authors,
Autobiographies/Biographies and Other Narrative, Anthologies,
Novels and Novellas in Alphabetical Order by Author, and Novels and
Novellas by Authors' Country of Origin. Reflecting the increase in
literary production and the facilitation of materials, this volume
contains a comprehensive listing of narrative pieces in English by
Latin American women writers not found in any other single volume
currently on the market. This work of reference will be of special
interest to scholars, students, and instructors interested in
narrativ
