A fresh reading of Latin American modernism through the lenses of gender and space for researchers and students alike.

This multidisciplinary, comparative monograph sheds new light on the works of well-known figures such as Mexican painter Frida Kahlo and Chilean poet Gabriela Mistral while recuperating artists that remain virtually unknown, such as Bolivian sculptor Marina Núñez del Prado. The scope and comparative approach of the book—encompassing both literary and visual arts from a variety of countries within Latin America—allows it to meet the needs of a broad range of scholars across disciplines and assures that the text serves researchers and students alike. By analyzing the contributions of eight contemporaneous women—four writers and four plastic artists—it reveals how they constructed and conceived of their identities as cultural practitioners through distinctly spatial tactics. Through discussion of their work within a transnational context, The Space of Latin American Women Modernists positions these Latin American women practitioners within a broader narrative of modernism from which they have often remained absent.
