"Las Raras is an essential contribution to the field of Modernista studies and Latin American literary and cultural studies of the turn of the twentieth century. Focusing on a group of women writers, some of whom are rather well known and others much lesser known, it is one of very few book-length studies that brings these texts to an English-reading audience."
--Andrew Reynolds, author of The Spanish American Crónica Modernista, Temporality and Material Culture: Modernismo's Unstoppable Presses
