Wonderful, fierce, crazy to some and unique to all, these artists, painters, writers and muses forged lives of passion, sensitivity, commitment and pain. Frida Kahlo and her mutilated body on the canvas; Pita Amor, the irrepressible poet; Nahui Olin and her bewitching eyes; María Izquierdo, a painter who won unanimous acclaim; Elena Garro, a mother of modern Mexican literature; Rosario Castellanos, who stood out in whatever genre she worked in, and Nellie Campobello, a graceful dancer and chronicler of the Revolution, make up an extraordinary cast of characters who bestrode a century with their incredible achievements.
The Elena Poniatowska Library beings together the fiction, essays and journalism of an author who has played a fundamental role in bringing women to the fore of Mexican culture and history. Through eye-witness accounts, interviews and anecdotes The Seven She-Goats profiles some of the leading figures of modern Mexican culture.
