Overview

Literary Works by 10 Dominican Women is an ode and an incentive to learn more about these amazing creative mujeres. This book brings together ten transcendental Dominican women writers who have lived or live outside of the Dominican Republic. They are: Camila Henríquez Ureña, Rhina Espaillat, Mélida García, Osiris Mosquea, Josefina Báez, Aurora Arias, Yrene Santos, Marianela Medrano, Sussy Santana and Rosa Silverio. Aside from poetry, fiction, and microfiction, this book includes literary texts of fictional and anecdotal nature, which celebrate the writers' genius, talent, or a special aspect of their lives. Writers with outstanding literary careers wrote the tributes that introduce each of the women writers. Moreover, there is an exquisite drawing-homage of each Dominican women writer made by another talented Dominican artist, Nathalie Rodríguez. It is a privilege to give you a compilation of texts that vary in genres, time periods, literary trends, styles, motivations, and topics; texts from and for women writers who due to their talent, their art, their education, their persistence, their strength, their love, and respect for writing have become pillars of our literary canon. This book was originally published in Spanish under the title 10 dominicanas de letras: homenaje & antología (DWA 2019), and today we present it to you in a beautiful translation by Prof. Kadiri J. Vaquer Fenández.
