Reviews

“This bilingual edition is another essential step forward in attempting to remedy the unjust relegation of this brilliant writer to insignificancy for reasons irrelevant to the quality of her works. ” – Prof. Marco A. Arenas, Central Connecticut State University

“. . . the most meticulous [work] of its kind ever done into English.” – Prof. Pilar Munday, Sacred Heart University “This rigorous bilingual edition makes accessible the passionate voice and views of this writer who was so unjustly neglected in the past because of her gender, socio-economic status, politics, and use of her regional language.” – Prof. Oscar de los Santos, Western Connecticut State University
