This multidisciplinary, comparative monograph sheds new light on the works of well-known figures such as Mexican painter Frida Kahlo and Chilean poet Gabriela Mistral while recuperating artists that remain virtually unknown, such as Bolivian sculptor Marina Núñez del Prado. The scope and comparative approach of the bookencompassing both literary and visual arts from a variety of countries within Latin Americaallows it to meet the needs of a broad range of scholars across disciplines and assures that the text serves researchers and students alike. By analyzing the contributions of eight contemporaneous womenfour writers and four plastic artistsit reveals how they constructed and conceived of their identities as cultural practitioners through distinctly spatial tactics. Through discussion of their work within a transnational context,
positions these Latin American women practitioners within a broader narrative of modernism from which they have often remained absent.
