	Sandra Cisneros
		She found her voice in writing at the Writers Workshop and is one of the few Chicano writers trained in formal creative writing (Elias 2).
		Cisneros' voice -- that of a "working-class, Mexican-American woman with an independent sexuality" (Juffer) -- is shaped by her experiences growing up in a part of America that many other authors are not familiar with.
		Mango Street won the Before Columbus Book Award (1985) and is a widely acclaimed "literary masterpiece" (Juffer).

	Sandra Cisneros
		In essence the neighborhood in The House on Mango Street was like this chessboard from my past, but my present in my twenties is what started populating the neighborhood of my past, and it became fiction.
		In The House on Mango Street, Cisneros paints heartbreaking pictures of other girls and women in the neighborhood: those who married young to escape domineering fathers, but only exchanged them for possessive and sometimes abusive husbands; women who had potential that has since disappeared.
		Telling the stories in The House on Mango Street serves as catharsis for the narrator; by book's end she has gained a sense of power and determination to avoid the fate of others of her sex and class.

	GradeSaver: ClassicNote: Biography of Sandra Cisneros
		Cisneros was the only daughter among seven children, and her brothers attempts to make her assume a traditional female role is reflected in the feminist strains of her writing, glorifying heroines who dream of economic independence and celebrating the "wicked" sexuality of women.
		A prime example of how Cisneros' writing speak to the experiences of the forgotten or invisible of American society is The House on Mango Street.
		In this work, widely celebrated by critics, teachers, adults and adolescents alike, Cisneros introduces the reader to Esperanza- a poor, Latina adolescent who longs for a room of her own and a house of which she can be proud.

	Sandra Cisneros - Short Stories
		In her early writings, she had to eventually learn to divorce her style from those of the “big male voices” in literature, writers like Hugo and Reothke who were her initial influences but whose works did not reflect her life or culture.
		In her poems, sexual freedom and economic independence are states to be achieved and enjoyed, and not to be tinged with the Catholic guilt that she explores in My Wicked, Wicked Ways (1987), a collection of sixty poems that each resemble a short story.
		In her stories, Cisneros finally found the voice that she had been searching for, a strong voice that needed to be heard and shared, and the literary world is much richer for being able to hear it.

	CliffsNotes::The House on Mango Street & Woman Hollering Creek & Other Stories:Book Summary and Study Guide
		Esperanza in Mango Street expresses the feeling often, saying she does not “belong” where she is and that she wishes she were from somewhere else—although Alicia assures her that she “is Mango Street” and will carry it with her when she leaves there.
		Tristán, of course, is separated from his cultural tradition by his homosexuality; he clings to what he can of it in his art, as a performer of traditional dances, and he both mocks and pays tribute to tradition by utilizing a kind of male “drag”—an exaggeration of the masterful, powerful, intensely masculine Latino persona.
		Raised in a very traditional household and apparently happy there, she easily made the transition into an older tradition—and is saved, by her lover’s physical and effectively complete disappearance from her life, from having to reconcile the myth with mundane existence.

	Sandra Cisneros' Career
		In an attempt to establish the difference of this kind of home from the one her fellow students remembered, Cisneros sought what she calls an "anti-academic voice--a child's voice, a girl's voice, a poor girl's voice, a spoken voice, the voice of an American-Mexican" (xv).
		The success of House on Mango Street and My Wicked, Wicked Ways apparently convinced the mainstream publishing world that Cisneros was a risk well worth taking.
		In 1991, Cisneros received what is considered to be the first Chicana contract with a major house when Random House published her collection of short stories, Woman Hollering Creek, and simultaneously reissued House in a Vintage paperback edition.
