Synopsis

Una valiente colección de poemas nuevos de Sandra Cisneros, autora del libro de mayor venta La casa en Mango Street.

Han pasado veintiocho años desde que Sandra Cisneros publicara un libro de poesía. Con decenas de poemas inéditos, Mujer sin vergüenza es una conmovedora colección de canciones, elegías y declaraciones que dan testimonio de su peregrinaje hacia un renacimiento y hacia el reconocimiento de su derecho como mujer artista. Estas meditaciones descarnadas y a menudo humorísticas sobre la memoria, el deseo y la naturaleza esencial del amor abren un camino hacia la autoconciencia. Para Cisneros, Mujer sin vergüenza es la culminación de la búsqueda de un hogar, en el México de sus antepasados y en su propio corazón.

Some children's books are good only in childhood. Some children's books are good at any age. And some children's books can be fantasticamazingmagical through your whole life, but only when you first read it when you were a kid. I think this book is part of that last group. I wish I read this when I wa......more

Not a comforting read. Liked it nevertheless. This book made me feel and think about a lot of things. The way we have been brought up. The way how our families influence us as grownups. The way the community we live in affects our lives. And yes, I do think that many culture "did not want their women......more
