La pluma es femenina
"Like any list, this one might miss some names and include others that may seem
surprising. As with any list, we mean to start a conversation. Here, five writers
whose prose, poetry or success capture the zeitgeist of the last half century".

Doris Lessing
"In the end, it’s clear with the passage of time that
Doris Lessing’s greatest contribution to letters,
that which earned her the 2007 Nobel Prize for Literature,
was being on the vanguard of the construction
and vindication of literary feminism".

Joan Didion
"Her ability to capture the difference between public and private
(in regard to women’s roles in society) as well as her analysis of women as wives
and mothers in society earned her respect not only as one of the most empirical writers of
the age but also one of the shrewdest observers of emotion of recent decades".

Isabel Allende

Isabel is the most widely read Spanish-language writer in the world."

Joyce Carol Oates
"Like no one else, Oates captures the violence that emanates
from small towns, built from poverty and reflected
in intimate spaces and sexuality until it becomes terrifying
for everyone."

J.K. Rowling
“No need to speak of literature to explain
it, nor of film. It’s not about marketing.
It’s not about philosophy. Not about ideology.
If Rowling is here, on this list, it’s because of
the number of readers she’s created in the last
20 years.”
