"""Free Women in the Pampas will be fundamental to the dissemination of two important Argentine writers, María Rosa Lojo and Victoria Ocampo. A riveting piece of fiction, it also sheds light on a key period in Argentine intellectual history."" Odile Cisneros, University of Alberta and co-author of Historical Dictionary of Latin American Literature and Theater “We are fortunate that Lojo’s work as a poet, novelist, and scholar is gaining a greater foothold in the English-speaking world. Free Women in the Pampas explores a pivotal moment connecting the women writers of Mansilla’s day, who considered themselves co-founders of the national literary tradition, with the immense flowering of women writers in the latter half of the 20th century. Above all, however, it is a pleasure to read. Cheadle’s accessible translation is designed to be read without scholarly accoutrements, though it does come equipped with an excellent introduction, incisive endnotes, a glossary of Spanish words, and period photographs of its principle actors. The book should help make both Lojo and Ocampo more familiar, which can only enrich anglophone cultures.” Dalhousie Review"
