While these women were both acclaimed and critiqued in their day, they have been largely overlooked by contemporary mainstream criticism. Detailed enough for experts yet accessible to undergraduates, graduate students, and the general reader, \u003cem\u003eRewriting Womanhood \u003c\/em\u003eprovides ample historical context for understanding the key women’s issues of nineteenth-century Mexico, Peru, and Puerto Rico; clear definitions of the psychoanalytic theories used to unearth the rewriting of the female self; and in-depth literary analyses of the feminine agency that Barragán, Cabello, and Roqué highlight in their fiction. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eRewriting Womanhood\u003c\/em\u003e reaffirms the value of three women novelists who wished to broaden the ruling-class definition of \u003cem\u003ewoman as mother and wife \u003c\/em\u003eto include \u003cem\u003ewoman as individual \u003c\/em\u003efor a modern era.
