- Title
El feminismo en la obra literaria de Olga Nolla: la lucha por la igualdad en Puerto Rico.
- Authors
del Valle Rodríguez, Martiza; Soriano Díaz, Andrés; González-Gijón, Gracia
- Abstract
The main aim of this work is to present the struggle of Puerto Rican women to reclaim their rights through the literature of Olga Nolla, an outstanding representative of Puerto Rican women in the area of literature of the Generation of the Seventies. The writers of this generation renewed Puerto Rican literature which was nourished by the crisis of values derived from the change to a capitalist society and by Puerto Rico's political and economic dependence on the United States. Olga Nolla, as other authors of her generation, uses a discourse of rupture and transfiguration. She reacts to the heterosexism of traditional discourse with a defiant and transgressive tone. She seeks to defeat traditional and patriarchal thinking in order to give way to a new literature based on the use of a feminine and feminist discourse that privileges women as narrative subjects.
