Reviews

"This excellent bibliography is a significant contribution to the literature of art history, Latin American studies, and women's studies. Filling a large gap, it brings together much hard-to-find information in a well-organized and easy-to-use volume that is bound to be consulted again and again."-Lynette Korenic Head, Arts Library University of California, Santa Barbara

?From many various and hard-to-locate sources, Puerto has gathered information about 20th-century Latin American women artists--their works, exhibitions, and critical essays portraying their contributions. No other bibliography of this depth on the topic exists....Puerto has done a superb job of pulling this work together...This bibliography should accomplish its purpose to 'raise awareness about the rich and extraordinarily diverse contributions which 20th-century women artists in and from Latin America have made.' Highly recommended for all academic and larger public libraries.?-Choice
