March 14, 2017, 4:29 PM GMTIn celebration of Women’s History Month, here are some notable stories about the journey from girlhood to womanhood written by and about Latinas. The most popular and bestselling title is without question Sandra Cisneros’s The House on Mango Street, which continues to set the standard because of its popular appeal, complex characters, and emotional truths. The following are excellent companions to that beloved book.
This legendary Puerto Rican author passed away only a few months ago, but she left behind an incredible literary legacy: poems, fiction and nonfiction that spoke to the immigrant journeys, usually experienced by women. Her other well-known books include Silent Dancing: A Partial Remembrance of a Puerto Rican Childhood and The Latin Deli: Telling the Lives of Barrio Women . In this 2004 novel, Ortiz Cofer writes beautifully about one young woman’s struggle with depression.
