Description
"This groundbreaking anthology explores the gamut of feminine sexuality in poetry and prose. Outstanding entries include Poniatowska's amorous and lyrical "Happiness;" Valenzuela's satirical look at sexual bonding, "The Fucking Game;" and an excerpt from Allende's The House of the Spirits... an informative introduction, biographical notes, and bibliography round out the text."--Publishers Weekly
Reviews
"An important chorus of our south of the border sisters for us Latinas to hear... Here we have much knowing and glorying from Argentina to Brazil to my own Dominican Republic -- toes to waist to breasts of the hemisphere!" -- Julia Alvarez.
