"As much as in other countries, there is a bildungsroman novel in Spanish America like the ones of Güiraldes, Vargas Llosa, and Pacheco. However, less studied is the same genre of novel written by women. Examines growing pains and search for freedom in a patriarchal society in the works of Elena Poniatowska, Rosario Castellanos, Claribel Alegría, Rosario Ferré, and Beatriz Guido. Interesting contribution to the growing body of studies on these writers"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
