Among many others, the following professors, specialists of Latin American Literature, most of them members of the well known Asociacion femenina de literatura hispánica have reviewed and endorsed the book: Dr. Silvia Nagy-Zekmi, Villanova University, Dr. Lee A. Daniel-Texas Christian University, Dr. Judy McInnis-University of Delaware, and Dr. Rhina Toruño-Haensly-University of Texas Permian B. "This anthology will be the perfect text to give an overview of contemporary poetry and short story by leading Latin American women writers. The range of countries represented, the social topics considered as well as the diversity of genres both within poetry and the short story make this a valuable book. Dr. Gac-Artigas' introduction provides a succinct overview of writing by women in Latin America and her selections from earlier writers provide concrete examples of their work. The introductions to each writer contain a wealth of information, while remaining succinct and pithy..." Dr. Judy McInnis The book is organized in the form of a reader: the section for each writer includes her bio-bibliography, a succinct introduction to the work studied, the poems or short story presented, and questions to guide the reading of the works if the book were used in a class.
