Reviews

“. . .shed[s] light as to why there are no strong links between the separatist movement and the feminist movement during feminism’s first wave [in Puerto Rico].” – Prof. Norma Valle Ferrer, University of Puerto Rico

“Nancy Bird-Soto, with a firm and meticulous grip, guides us trough the layers of the (proto) feminist discourse of three Puerto Rican writers of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.” – Prof. Pilar Melero, University of Wisconsin-Whitewater

“The writers included in this study are important figures whose presence, work, and texts should not be overlooked or understudied. This study offers an astute perspective of diverse Puerto Rican women writers and their textual production at the turn of twentieth century.” – Prof. Lara A. Walker, Dickinson College
