Books like Making face, making soul = by Gloria Anzaldúa

An anthology of poetry, prose, fiction, and experimental autobiographical pieces by Gloria Anzaldúa, offering fresh insights into her life, work, and groundbreaking theories on Chicana, lesbian, and multicultural feminism.

A landmark feminist anthology gathering writings by women of color, edited by Cherríe Moraga and Gloria E. Anzaldúa.

This lively book surveys women writers in the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. Its selection is vast, historically representative, and original, taking examples from twenty different, relatively unknown authors in all genres of writing, including poetry, fiction, religious works, letters and journals, translation, and books on childcare. It establishes new contexts for the debate about women as writers within the period and suggests potential intertextual connections with works by well-known male authors of the same time. Individual authors and works are given concise introductions, with both modern and historical critical analysis, setting them in a theoretical and historicised context. All texts are made readily accessible through modern spelling and punctuation, on-the-page annotation and headnotes. The substantial, up-to-date bibliography provides a source for further study and research. Suitable for undergraduate and postgraduate literature students studying the Renaissance or taking courses in women's writing, and of related interest to historians of the period.
