This anthology provides an opportunity for English-speaking audiences to read previously untranslated fiction by women from Bolivia, Ecuador, and Peru. Like M�nica Bravo’s heroine attempting to outwit death, or the mayor’s wife, in a story by Alicia Y�nez Coss�o, surviving the news of her husband’s infidelity, many of the protagonists are strong women, wise and shrewd.
