- W1519013886 abstract "A gentle maiden aunt who has been victimized for years unexpectedly retaliates through her talent for making life-sized dolls filled with honey. oThe Youngest Doll,o based on a family anecdote, is a stunning literary expression of Rosario Ferrs feminist and social concerns. It is the premier story in a collection that was originally published in Spanish in 1976 as Papeles de Pandora and is now translated into English by the author. The daughter of a former governor of Puerto Rico, Ferr portrays women loosening the constraints that have bound them to a patriarchal culture. Anger takes creative rather than polemical form in ten stories that started FerrU on her way to becoming a leading woman writer in Latin America.The upper-middle-class women in The Youngest Doll , mostly married to macho men, rebel against their doll-like existence or retreat into fantasy, those without money or the right skin color are even more oppressed. In terms of power and influence, these women stand in the same relation to men as Puerto Rico itself does to the United States, and FerrU stretches artistic boundaries in writing about their situation. The stories, moving from the realistic to the nightmarish, are deeply, felt, full of irony and black humor, often experimental in form. The imagery is striking: an architect dreams about a beautiful bridge that owould open and close its arches like alligators making loveo; a Mercedes Benz oshines in the dark like a chromium rhinoceros.o One story, oThe Sleeping Beauty,o is a collage of letters, announcements, and photo captions that allows chilling conclusions to be drawn from what is not written. The collection includes Ferr 's discussion of oWhen Women Love Men,o a story about a prostitute and a society lady who unite in order to survive, and one that illustrates the woman writer's oart of dissembling anger through irony.o In closing, she considers how her experience as a Latin American woman with ties to the United States has brought to her writing a dual cultural perspective." @default.
