During the last decade, women's narrative has become a recognized force in Mexican letters. The essays in this collection explore the recent work of nine contemporary Mexican women writers.

The essays in this volume address these issues, providing a much needed contribution to the study of women's narrative.Hinweis: Dieser Artikel kann nur an eine deutsche Lieferadresse ausgeliefert werden.
