Summary: Letters: a lost literary gender
Review: It is an interesting book about the correspondence between two friends that meet in their country,Chile. But, life is very unjust, and for political reasons both have to leave their land. The letters, that they write to each other through many years, tell their stories of survival and they explain, from their point of view and in a epistolar style, what each of them have to endure to became women citizens, mothers, academics and profesors,etc. in this country. Their experiences are not unknow or irreal, they are very realistics, a common ground for many women that are gone through the same or similar path. This book is a document: a good book for women and men who love literature, books, and academic work.
