	Las Mujeres :: Elena Poniatowska
		Poniatowska characterizes her "we" here through the combined metaphors of guest and shoeshine boy, making us party-crashers at the table of life; reminding us of our humble origins so that we might question what "success" is implied in distancing ourselves from these origins.
		Poniatowska identities with her protagonist because of their shared gender; one element of her feminist praxis is this presentation of Jesusa in gendered terms juxtaposed to the society which excludes her on all terms.
		Elena Poniatowska, born in France from an aristocratic family, did not even know her mother was Mexican until she was packing to move to that country as a result of the Second World War.

		Elena Poniatowska has a way of making the narrative read as if Tina Modotti herself were relating various happenings from her life to the reader, while the author adds her own commentaries as a supplement.
		Poniatowska gives attention to the social and political environment that contributed to Tina's transformation from a goddess to a committed communista who gave her life to the cause.
		Elena Poniatowski is a skilled writer who lets her passions dictate her style and the result is powerful image as to who the shadowy Tina Mondotti was.

		Mexico is as much a character in Poniatowska's epic novels of personal discovery, political awakenings, and cosmic heartache as the questing men and women she so poignantly animates.
		Lorenzo's calling enables Poniatowska not only to write of the heavens with mythic awe and ravishing lyricism but also to ponder the conundrums of space and time, our precarious place in the universe, and the great divide between Mexico's educated elite and countless illiterate poor.
		Poniatowska is, after all, a profoundly sensuous writer, and she vividly and purposefully describes earthly life as Lorenzo grows up on a farm, discovers sex, runs with a hard-drinking and ambitious crowd, and travels cross-country to spread the word about communism.

	Elena Poniatowska Biography \| Dictionary of Literary Biography
		Elena Poniatowska has devoted much of her fiction and journalism to giving a voice to the anonymous masses that do not have access to the printed word or to other modes of communication.
		Poniatowska includes women in the category of the oppressed, of those without a voice, because the female experience has been traditionally ignored or silenced, especially in societies such as Mexico's, which are overwhelmingly patriarchal.
		Generally placed in disadvantageous situations by their age, social standing, or simply by being women, Poniatowska's characters are noted for their rebelliousness, for breaking the rules.

		Poniatowska never intrudes, but the warmth she feels for Jesusa infuses the sentimental introduction and spills over into the text.
		Poniatowska, who interviewed Jes#sa over a period of several years, pushes the novel format and the frictions between authorship and collaboration with this testimonial.

		MEXICANAS AND CHICANAS Elena Poniatowska, Mexico's leading woman writer and journalist, gave the following lecture at Hampshire College in the fall of 1991, when she was writer-in-residence at the Five Colleges in Western Massachusetts.
		Of Mexican women writers who do not belong to the petite bourgeoisie, only two could be called proletarian: Benita Galeana, who is not a professional writer, and Sylvia Tomasa Rivera, who accompanies the reading of her poems with beer bottles, bangs on the table and shouts that she is a peasant.
		In Rosario Castellanos and Elena Garro's novels, in the stories of Ines Arredondo and Maria Luisa Puga, the Virgin of Guadalupe or the Malinche are hardly mentioned.

		And for this, Poniatowska sacrifices some of the flow of the book, allowing it to get bogged down in names, places and scientific developments.
		The novel is challenging, not only because it offers an unforgiving protagonist—ambitious, solitary and sometimes alienating to the reader—but also because it almost exceeds the grasp of its writer.
		But Lorenzo's destiny is not love, carousing, or politics but, rather, charting the distant stars and propelling Mexico into the international science arena.

		"Long though it is, this English version of Tinâisima, Poniatowska's novel based closely on the life of Italian photographer Tina Modotti (1896-1942), represents a considerable abridgment of the original.

	Elena Poniatowska: Nothing, Nobody - Print
		Long a voice of social conscience, prominent Mexican journalist Elena Poniatowska chronicles the disintegration of the city's physical and social structure, the widespread grassroots organizing against government corruption and incompetence, and the reliency of the human spirit.
		Punctuated by Poniatowska's own experiences and observations, these post disaster testimonies speak of the disruption of families and neighborhoods, of the destruction of homes and hospitals, of mutilation and death—the collective loss of a city.
		Drawing the reader dramatically into the scene of national horror through dozens of personal stories, Poniatowska demonstrates the importance of courage and self-reliance in redeeming life from chaos.
