Memoir is Rosario Ferre's account of her life both as a writer and
as a member of a family at the center of the economic and political
history of Puerto Rico during the American Century, one hundred
years of territorial "non-incorporation" into the United States.
The autobiography tells the story of Ferre's transformation from
the daughter of a privileged family into a celebrated novelist,
poet, and essayist concerned with the welfare of Puerto Ricans, and
with the difficulties of being a woman in Puerto Rican society. It
is a snapshot of twentieth-century Puerto Rico through the lens of
a writer profoundly aware of her social position. It is a picture
taken from the perspective of a keen observer of the local history
of the island, and of the history of the United States. Included
are many photographs that connect Ferre's life with the story of
her writing career.
