Frida Kahlo is one of the most recognizable women artists of the Western world and an icon of feminism. Yet, Latin America has produced many other women artists who, like Kahlo, challenged conventions of their day, transgressed gender stereotypes, and significantly contributed to cultural and artistic realms. Most have been overshadowed by their male counterparts; and while some have been recognized in their home countries, the vast majority have remained in obscurity at home and abroad. This collection brings together sixteen essays, and features such artists as Chilean composer Violeta Parra, Cuban painter Belkis Ayón, nineteenth-century Portuguese-Brazilian actress Maria Velluti, Puerto Rican painter and sculptor Luisa Géigel Brunet, and many more. This book celebrates the lives and creativity of these underrecognized artists, and the contributions that they have made towards Latin American art.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLuciana Namorato\u003c\/b\u003e is associate professor of Spanish and Portuguese at Indiana University Bloomington.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDébora Thomé\u003c\/b\u003e conducts post-doctoral research at Fundação Getulio Vargas in São Paulo and teaches at the Columbia Women’s Leadership Network.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJoão Nemi Neto\u003c\/b\u003e is senior lecturer in the Department of Latin American and Iberian Cultures at Columbia University.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12 February 2025\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLexington Books\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781666963045\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e296\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19.04\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55335697809548,"sku":"9781666963045","price":108.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/getimage_9729c0bf-4c6d-4ae5-9a51-7411738a394d.jpg?v=1788030812","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781666963045","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
