Describes how Latin-American women writers of all classes, from the beginning of the twentieth century to the present, ironize masculinist, classicist, and racist cliches in their narratives.This book provides a much needed grouping of Latin-American women, emphasizing their differences-the diversity of their cultural backgrounds, socio-economic conditions, and literary strategies-as well as their commonalities. Humble writers of the Spanish and Portuguese testimonio and sophisticated postmodernist authors alike are contextualized within a "matriheritage of founding discourses."
