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. Brígida M. Pastor teaches Latin American literature and film at the University of Glasgow . Her publications include 'Fashioning Cuban Feminism and Beyond', 'El discurso de Gertrudis Gómez de Avellaneda: Identidad Femenina y Otredad'; and 'Discursos Caribenhos: Historia, Literatura e Cinema'.

Drawing from the insights of subaltern studies and postcolonial feminisms, Proma Tagore brings together the work of a diverse group of writers - Toni Morrison, Shani Mootoo, Louise Erdrich, M.K. Indira, Rashsundari Debi, and Mahasweta Devi. She focuses on the visceral, affective nature of their narratives and explores the way that personal and historical trauma, initially silenced, may be recorded across generations, as well as across complex national, racial, gender, and sexual lines.

"Incómodas. Escritoras españolas en el franquismo forma parte de esa historia de la literatura deliberadamente invisibilizada y dejada fuera por haber sido protagonizada por mujeres. Esa ha sido la motivación primera de los editores de este volumen: reunir, en una misma obra, trabajos de investigación sobre veintiuna escritoras españolas que desarrollaron su actividad literaria durante la dictadura franquista. Para estas escritoras, coger papel y sentarse a escribir fue un acto de verdadero coraje. Por su coraje resultan molestas, incómodas: incómodas porque eran mujeres profesionales en un momento de retroceso dentro de su proceso de emancipación, cuando se perdieron todos los derechos reivindicados y conseguidos durante la Segunda República; incómodas porque desafiaron los roles y espacios asignados, transgrediendo el tipo de feminidad que dictaba el nacionalcatolicismo; y, también, incómodas por el tema elegido para sus textos, porque ¿qué contenido literario o trama puede surgir para una novela o un cuento cuando se escribe desde el silencio? Y, finalmente, fueron escritoras incómodas para el canon porque no se recogen autoras especialmente rescatadas o conocidas. Por supuesto, toda selección es una reducción y, en este libro, no están todas las que son, pero sí que todas las que están son escritoras que, a juicio de los editores, merecen formar parte de un volumen sobre literatura escrita por mujeres durante la dictadura franquista."--Page 4 of cover.
