This volume offers a critical study of a representative selection
of Latin American women writers who have made major contributions
to all literary genres and represent a wide range of literary
perspectives and styles. This volume offers a critical study of a
representative selection of Latin American women writers who have
made major contributions to all literary genres and represent a
wide range of literary perspectives and styles. Many of these women
have attained the highest literary honours: Gabriela Mistral won
the Nobel Prize in 1945; Clarice Lispector attracted the critical
attention of theorists working mainly outside the Hispanic area;
others have made such telling contributions to particular strands
of literature that their names are immediately evocative of
specific currents or styles. Elena Poniatowska is associated with
testimonial writing; Isabel Allende and Laura Esquivel are known
for the magical realism of their texts; others, such as Juana de
Ibarbourou and Laura Restrepo remain relatively unknown despite
their contributions to erotic poetry and to postcolonial prose
fiction respectively. The distinctiveness of this volume lies in
its attention to writers from widely differing historical and
social contexts and to the diverse theoretical approaches adopted
by the authors. Brigida M. Pastor teaches Latin American literature
