Abstract

This article analyses the generic and discursive crossings present in three stories of Papeles de Pandor as part of Ferré's aesthetic and political proposal. Through this proyect, the author questions and denounces not only the hegemonic social values that have conditioned Puerto Rican women and have caused a fragmentation in their identity, but also the cultural values that have limited the role of women in writing.
