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'. Lloyd Hughes Davies teaches Spanish American Literature at Swansea University. His publications include 'Isabel Allende, La casa de los espíritus' and 'Projections of Peronism in Argentine Autobiography, Biography and Fiction'.

La autora reúne aquí voces femeninas provenientes de Chile, Uruguay, Argentina, Colombia, Brasil (Lispector, Eltit, Valenzuela, Peri Rossi, Shua, Sarlo) y en sus textos descubre la presencia de ciertos temas recurrentes que constituyen núcleos de sentido. Nos encontramos así con la denuncia de la injusticia y de la represión en el ámbito público y privado; con el desarraigo y el exilio; con la relación entre lo femenino y los medios masivos de comunicación; con el olvido y la memoria; con las diferencias sexuales y de género; con el amor y la muerte. Las escritoras que practican una crítica literaria feminista, por su parte, escriben desde Europa, Latinoamérica, y los Estados Unidos y en sus discursos se expresan adhesiones y rechazos que tienen que ver con las escuelas teóricas y con las posiciones ideológicas que sostienen.

Through an analysis of culturally specific constructions of gender and spirituality in the verbal and visual texts, this study reveals syncretic presences and a new paradigm for reading. Furthermore, this project argues that these women create and install cultural citizenship, which proposes alternatives to postcolonial and global feminist paradigms.
