""; ""Bibliography"""In spite of the attention that Latin American women writers have attracted in recent years, a book dedicated exclusively to those writers whose work primarily articulates a lesbian perspective was until now missing. The purpose of this book, first published in 1996, is to bring attention to and examine the articulation of lesbian themes, motifs and issues in the works of these writers. It aims to study the problems pertaining to the specific literary representations of lesbianism and to examine the dimensions of a lesbian view in the works. By undertaking the study of the works of these women writers, this book contributes to the recognition and legitimization of a lesbian literary discourse."--Provided by publisherSpanish American literatureWomen authorsHistory and criticismLesbians' writings, Spanish AmericanHistory and criticismSpanish American literature20th centuryHistory and criticismHomosexuality and literatureLatin AmericaHistory20th centuryWomen and literatureLatin AmericaHistory20th centurySpanish American literatureWomen authorsHistory and criticism.Lesbians' writings, Spanish AmericanHistory and criticism.Spanish American literatureHistory and criticism.Homosexuality and literatureHistoryWomen and literatureHistory860.99287Martínez Elena M.1956-1710608OCoLC-POCoLC-PBOOK9910819405403321Lesbian voices from Latin America4101389UNINA
