Description
Book SynopsisRosario Castellanos was emerging as one of Mexico's major literary figures before her untimely death in 1974; this sampler of her work brings together her major poems, short fiction, essays, and a three-act play.
Trade Review... Castellanos has not been accorded the recognition she deserves as this century's foremost Latin American feminist thinker. [This book] seeks to remedy that. * Review: Latin American Literature and Art *
