	GIOCONDA BELLI
		Belli, a member of the upper class, joined the growing Sandinista movement in 1970 when she was just 20 years old, and four years later fled her stifling and unhappy six-year marriage.
		Belli notes that Contreras' contribution to the cause was "never sufficiently recognized," as is the case for most of her lost comrades, friends and loved ones.
		But Belli's literary immersions are overshadowed by the demands of her political engagement, and the breadth and depth of her knowledge is obvious in her fresh and vivid analysis of Sandinista politics and strategies, and her shrewd assessment of various players, including the unscrupulous Ortega brothers, Daniel and Humberto.

		Nicaraguan writer and activist Gioconda Belli celebrated the feminine form and mentality as a source of power within politics and society last Thursday in her lecture entitled “The Writer in a Woman’s Body,” which was presented by Wellesley College Mezcla.
		Belli noted the furor surrounding her work, “My poems issued from a feeling of power directly connected to my biology and my physical being; that they were erotic poems was not the only reason for the scandal.
		Belli’s attitude towards the struggle to recognize the truly feminine and the challenge of a writer in a woman’s body is perhaps best reflected her concluding words.

		Sobre todo al recibir a Gioconda Belli, orgullo de nuestras letras, traducida y leída en varios idiomas europeos, estudiada en numerosos congresos internacionales y monografías universitarias, cuyos aportes fueron expuestos por quien más conoce, entre nosotros, su obra: Julio Valle-Castillo.
		Y es que Gioconda ya había dado un salto cualitativo en su escritura: de la poesía a la novela; hecho pionero en nuestras letras y, hasta hoy, único entre sus compañeras de generación.
		En Belli poesía, erotismo y revolución son manifestaciones de un mismo vitalismo; algo así comprendió Coronel Urtecho cuando escribió: «La mujer que se revela, se rebela».

	Belli, Gioconda. The country under my skin; a memoir of love and war - Book Review Kliatt - Find Articles
		Belli, born 1949, came of age in Nicaragua at a time when the lines between rich and poor were sharply drawn, and when Somoza, one of the world's most corrupt dictators, ruled.
		The US supported dictatots like this, and Belli and her compatriots knew they could expect little help from the north in their fight for an honest and equitable social and political system.
		Belli, who was educated in the US, writes a powerful, appealing memoir in which she tells of her activities as part of The Organization.

		Belli's unusual past has vaulted her to the status of role model for the feminist movement in Europe and the Americas.
		Born in 1948 in the Nicaraguan capital of Managua, Belli was sent to the United States for a degree in communication studies at a Philadelphia university.
		"Belli herself and her poetry are not two but one, already part of the quintessence of the revolution," Urtecho wrote.

		Belli recuerda, por ejemplo, que de niña ella y sus compañeras de colegio iban a visitar los barrios más humildes de la capital y cómo "nuestras visitas los alegraban" (2001: 82).
		Belli participó activamente en el movimiento revolucionario antes y después de la victoria sandinista en 1979, primero en Managua y desde el exilio en San José, Costa Rica, y después como encargada de la estación de televisión en la Nicaragua pos-somocista.
		Belli expresa su admiración por el pueblo, pero se evidencia la separación entre "ellos" y "nosotros" al alejarse ella de incluirse en las descripciones.

		La autora nicaragüense, Gioconda Belli, en un texto de carácter autobiográfico hace un repaso de la historia reciente de su país junto con una celebración de la capacidad de amar.
		En este libro Belli cuenta como ella, una mujer de clase adinerada, se integró a un movimiento guerrillero en un mar de contradicciones y como al final se sobreponían sus convicciones.
		En esta obra Belli muestra un gran sentido para analizar sus relaciones con los hombres, es llana cuando señala defectos, las cualidades aunque las estiliza siempre están dentro del marco de lo posible y muestra una gran capacidad para sobreponerse a los aspectos dolorosos, sabe incorporar el dolor a su experiencia.

	El País Bajo mi Piel - Gioconda Belli
		Heridas, para Gioconda, que se transformaron en medallas, edades, paisajes llenos de nostalgia, aventuras del delirio y el deseo, cuentos, novelas y poesía, herencia donde surge la otredad, como una fuente donde guarda sus misterios...
		Gioconda Belli trasciende su biografía aún suspendida en el sueño de una Nicaragua libre y como testigo del propio amor que la consumía, hasta que un 19 de julio de 1979, pudo escribir el poema: Patria Libre; y lo que vino después.
		Voz de voces, a través de todos sus muertos y sus vivos: fuego y agua de su piel, tatuada con los signos de comandar un ideal, con la fuerza de la pasión y la fe de la verdad.

	BOMB Magazine: Gioconda Belli by Kenia Halleck (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Today, Belli is considered by Nicaraguans to be one of the most independent, critically engaged intellectuals in the struggle for democracy.
		Her latest project, The Country Under My Skin (fall 2001, Knopf) is a memoir about her life, her involvement in Nicaragua's civil war and politics, and an exploration of the risks and possibilities in constructing personal and social utopias both within the context of the Nicaraguan Revolution and the climate of late capitalism.
		When Belli and I met at her home in Los Angeles this fall, we discussed the complexities of her privileged and contradictory position as a leftist intellectual who still believes in and is willing to struggle for a better society.

	Strokes of Madness
		Belli, a Nicaraguan who was active in the Sandinista movement (she chronicled her political awakening in the memoir "The Country Under My Skin"), is convinced that Juana has been wronged by the "prejudices" of history.
		Belli is at once aware of this artistic tradition and ready to unsettle it.
		Belli doesn't as much explore insanity and the gender gap as she indulges in sexual stereotyping.

		Until her early 20s Gioconda Belli inhabited an upper-class cocoon: sheltered from the poverty in Managua; country clubs, debutante balls, education abroad; early marriage and motherhood.
		Her memoir is both a revelatory insider's account of the Revolution and the impassioned story of coming of age under extraordinary circumstances.
		Belli writes with striking lyricism and openness about her personal and political lives: about her family, her children, the men in her life; about her poetry; about the dichotomies between her birthright and her chosen life; about the failures

		For Gioconda Belli, a woman's sexuality and female identity are inseparable from an expansive and nurturing love of the world.
		In her poetry, the longing for a society in which people construct a future together is animated by an inextinguishable erotic, maternal, and transcendental loving desire.

	Hacia una conciencia feminista en la poesía de Gioconda Belli
		Al analizar la producción poética de Belli en su totalidad a partir del concepto "Mujer" se podrá constatar mejor su negociación con la tradición y su progresión hacia el pensamiento feminista.
		Belli vuelve a la idea del yo femenino como la geografía para ser explorada, y en eso no hay duda de que se "cosifica," de que se representa, al menos por un momento, como marginal, como objeto.
		La trayectoria feminista plasmada en la poseía de Belli puede interpretarse como un retrato bastante genuino de las latinoamericanas de carne y hueso de finales del siglo XX y comienzos del XXI, con sus logros y también con su incansable negociación con lo tradicional y lo moderno de su cultura.

		Juana, as Belli depicts her, was a passionate woman who fell victim to power-hungry relatives, and whose eccentric behavior may have been symptoms of bipolar disorder.
		(As Belli explains in an author's note, "any woman with a strong sense of self, confronted by the abuse and the arbitrary injustices she had to withstand, forced to accept her powerlessness in the face of an authoritarian system, would become depressed.") Belli's insights into Spanish culture prove provocative, aided by Dillman's faultless translation.
		Belli's rigorously imagined and sumptuously presented novel is a dual story of obsessive love, with a bi-level plot alternating between past and present.
