Biopics of Three Latin American Female Writers

Professor Titania Vargas will present three films from different eras of Latina activism which showcase the achievements of Latin American female writers Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, Mexico (1651-1695); María Luisa Bombal, Chile (1910-1980); and Rosario Castellanos, Mexico (1925-1974). A discussion will follow about their courageous advocacy for gender equality and freedom of speech and their fight against social norms.
