Woman Hollering Creek

Sandra Cisneros · b. 1954 · United States / Mexico

Twenty-two stories move between Texas border towns and Mexico, voicing girls and women against the undertow of machismo, faith, and telenovela romance. Cisneros followed Mango Street's vignettes with a fuller, funnier range of voices.
