    Rocío Quispe-Agnoli deposited Gender and Genre Bias: Women Writers & Networks in Latin America in the group Group logo of TC Women’s and Gender StudiesTC Women’s and Gender Studies on MLA Commons 2 years, 2 months ago

    It is well known that the literary history of Latin America and its canon has been/is written by a patriarchal Eurocentric society that controls what constitutes national literature.
