Fiction. ".This Anthology is so valuable; it lays open the emotions of writers who, in turn, speak for others still shrouded in silence. For women in Latin America, setting down a short story is like screaming out loud; it breaks the rules, violates the code of silence into which we are born. Through these stories, each author selected by Dr. Zapata shouts out defiantly and reveals our experience to the world" -Isabel Allende.

Short stories by thirty Latin American women authors including Isabel Allende, Rosario Ferré, and Amparo Davila
