Produktinformationen "Confidences"
Renowned Bolivian feminist poet Adela Zamudio (1854-1928) wrote only one novel during her lifetime--Confidences (Íntimas, 1913), chronicling a series of scandals among the landowning classes of the city of Cochabamba at the turn of the twentieth century. The story explores sexism, religion, and prejudice in the lives of several young adults, culminating in a tragic turn of events that changes their destiny. Told in epistolary form from the contrasting perspectives of a single man and a married woman, the novel poignantly depicts tensions between the male-dominated public sphere and the intimacy of women's private conversations.Zamudio was a passionate activist for women's and girls' rights to education, financial independence, and self-determination. This first English translation of Zamudio's fiction captures the lyrical character of the author's prose and conveys her unique insight into the challenges and limitations of social activism in her society.Published by Bucknell University Press. Distributed worldwide by Rutgers University Press.
