Elena Garro y Gabriel García Márquez: entre el Boom y la domesticidad

Abstract

The Latin American Boom was one of the most important literary movements of the 20th century for the Latin-American writers, however, important literary feminine figures were made invisible and underestimated both by the academy and by the publishers as opposed to their male counterparts. The following article is based in two writers: Elena Garro and Gabriel García Márquez, to indicate that it was their sociocultural context, and not a quality disparity, which created the differences in reception between both authors. Through the comparative analysis of their literary contributions, as well as the context in which both works were written, it will be possible to understand the importance of revaluing the work of 20th century female authors.
