Las grandes mujeres

Overview

This short collection represents Alfonsina Storni's signature poetry, known to be tender and delicate yet occasionally rocky—a defense of artistic and individual freedom. With a prologue by Clara Sanchez, Las grandes mujeres becomes a dual work of art: Storni's poems combine with drawings and paintings by Antonia Santolaya. The intensity of the colorful artwork and the equally moving poems will stay with readers.
