A dream of light & shadow : portraits of Latin American women writers

Author:	Marjorie Agosín
Publisher:	Albuquerque : University of New Mexico Press, ©1995.

Summary:	Sixteen original essays on women writers from Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Costa Rica, Colombia, Ecuador, Uruguay, Argentina, and Brazil are gathered in this book. Each establishes the relationship between the biography of the subject and her literary production. Some of these writers, like Nobel Prize-winner Gabriela Mistral, Elena Poniatowska, and Victoria Ocampo, are well known; others are still largely undiscovered.
