The autobiography tells the story of Ferré's transformation from the daughter of a privileged family into a celebrated novelist, poet, and essayist concerned with the welfare of Puerto Ricans, and with the difficulties of being a woman in Puerto Rican society. It is a snapshot of twentieth-century Puerto Rico through the lens of a writer profoundly aware of her social position. It is a picture taken from the perspective of a keen observer of the local history of the island, and of the history of the United States. Included are many photographs that connect Ferré's life with the story of her writing career.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBenigno Trigo is the son of the writer and a professor of Spanish American Literature at Vanderbilt University. \u003cbr\u003eSuzanne Hintz is the author of a scholarly book and of numerous articles about the works of Rosario Ferré.
