Both Ellen Moers's foreword and Espinosa's concise and informative introudction provide a context that underscores the novel's unique place and significance in the historical and literary configuration if its time and our own. This translation . . . opens up, brilliantly, perspectives on a gifted woman's reaction to her world. It should become one of the central texts in women's studies programs."
