How and Why I Write Redefining Hispanic Women’s Writing and Experience

"'How and Why I Write: Redefining Hispanic Women's Writing and Experience' analyzes a paradigm shift in its defiance and transgression of traditional uses of genre. Meticulously researched and sensitive to the cultural nuances of each text, this study unveils through close reading how the narrative of a life (autobiography) is as much the story of how that life is reconstructed through the processes and products of writing." (Elizabeth J. Ordóñez, The Metropolitan State College of Denver)
"Marisa Postlewate analyzes and writes with passion, perseverance and originality. Her reflections are always interesting and compelling, even in the case where our point of view differs. In summation, it is a solid work." (Rosa Montero, award winning author of 'La hija del canibal')
