These representative works by early Spanish American women writers
are the first to be made available in a bilingual edition. The
texts provide an overview of writers from the Colonial period to
the nineteenth century. They include an exploration account, the
vida of a mystic, an autobiography of a transvestite, poetry by Sor
Juana Ins de la Cruz, essays, and two novellas. While all of the
writers shared being white and literate, their life experiences
were extremely diverse, and themes of repression, both personal and
political, permeate the collection. Scott's introduction emphasises
the networks of friendship and support among women writers that
developed, especially in the nineteenth century. The new
translations make many of these texts available to English-speaking
readers for the first time.
