Summary:There is a wealth of published literature in English by Latin American women writers, but such material can be difficult to locate due to the lack of available bibliographic resources. In addition, the various types of published narrative (short stories, novels, novellas, autobiographies, and biographies) by Latin American women writers has increased significantly in the last ten to fifteen years. To address the lack of bibliographic resources, Kathy Leonard has compiled Latin American Women Writers: AResource Guide to Titles in English. This reference includes all forms of narrative-short sto.

Review by Library Journal Review

Spanish linguistics scholar Leonard (Cruel Fictions) has created the most comprehensive guide available to translated literary work by Latin American women authors. Spanning the period between 1898 and 2007, the book contains seven indexes categorizing writers by 16 alphabetized countries of origin, surname, narrative title, biography or autobiography title, anthology title, and both novel by title and novel's country of origin. Altogether, 3060 titles by 500 authors are accounted for. An 18-page bibliography provides further reading sources. An invaluable resource for literary, cultural, and women's studies scholars.
