During the last decade, women's narrative has become a
recognized force in Mexican letters. The essays in this collection
explore the recent work of nine contemporary Mexican women writers.
Many of the works have been translated into English; some, like
Laura Esquivel's "Like Water for Chocolate," have become
international best sellers. The unprecedented commercial success of
these novels has generated mixed reactions: at the same time that
the secondary status afforded women's narrative has come to be
questioned in many academic circles, some authors are dissociating
themselves from women's writing. The essays in this volume address
these issues, providing a much needed contribution to the study of
women's narrative.
