Mexican figures like La Virgen de Guadalupe, la Malinche, la Llorona, and la Chingada reflect different myths of motherhood in Mexican culture. For the first time, Melero examines these instances of portrayed motherhood as a discursive space in the political, cultural, and literary context of early twentieth century Mexico.

Pilar Melero is Associate Professor of Spanish, Chican@ and U.S. Latin@ Literature at University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, USA.
