In this collection, Ferré introduces her major theme: the position of women in a fast-changing but still patriarchal culture. In \"La muñeca menor\"  (\"The Youngest Doll\"), a maiden aunt uses her skill at making honey-filled dolls to get revenge. \"La bella durmiente\" (\"The Sleeping Beauty\"), recounts the brief life of a young dancer through letters and newspaper clippings that reveal much more than they say. And in \"Cuando las mujeres quieren a los hombres\" (\"When Women Love Men\"), a society lady and a prostitute form a startling alliance after the death of the man they both loved.  Richly imagined, elegantly written, Ferré's stories are early proof of her stature among contemporary Latin American writers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47020556386544,"sku":"9780375724695","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780375724695_p0.jpg?v=1763691942","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780375724695","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
