Public women: female writing and the role of women in the literary magazine Rueca

Abstract

This essay is a first look into the contents of the Mexican literary magazine Rueca, published in the years 1941-1952, that particularly stands out because its editorial counsel was exclusively composed of women. The magazine goes against the literary and editorial landscape of the time by creating a space for female writing, besides also contributing to the development of intellectual networks by establishing communications between the magazine’s editors and the different literary and cultural groups and individuals from the time.
