But this rich vein of writing has often been ignored and is rarely studied.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis volume of twenty-one original studies by noted experts in Latin American literature seeks to recover and celebrate the accomplishments of Latin American women essayists. Taking a variety of critical approaches, the authors look at the way women writers have interpreted the essay genre, molded it to their expression, and created an intellectual tradition of their own. Some of the writers they treat are Flora Tristan, Gertrudis GÓmez de Avellaneda, Clorinda Matto de Turner, Victoria Ocampo, Alfonsina Storni, Rosario FerrÉ, Christina Peri Rossi, and Elena Poniatowska.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is the first of a two-volume project that reexamines the Latin American essay from a feminist perspective.
