Summary

The city is not only built of towers of steel and glass; it is a product of culture. It plays an especially important role in Latin America, where urban areas hold a near-monopoly on resources and are home to an expanding population. The essays in this collection assert that women's views of the city are unique and revealing. For the first time, Unfolding the City addresses issues of gender and the urban in literature-particularly lesser-known works of literature-written by Latin American women from Mexico City, Santiago, and Buenos Aires. The contributors propose new mappings of urban space
