Summary
By and large texts written by women offer an alternative stance, a diff erentiated locus that places their writing in dialogue with a dominantly patriarchal tradition. Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz in Mexico, Gertrudis Gomez de Avellaneda in Cuba, and Clorinda Matto de Turner in Peru are among the renowned pioneering women whose writings embodied suppressed claims of their times. Taking this tradition of emancipated women writers in Latin America as the starting point of a rich and dynamic literary trajectory, this chapter aims to provide an overview of women's writing in the Andean area. The Andean region highlighted in the chapter is taken as a physical, as well as a symbolic, territory that has had an impact, in the past and present, on both its peoples and its social and cultural processes. While this panoramic approach takes a historical perspective, it places emphasis on present-day trends and writers.
