Summary
Women linked through literary style or affiliation to Latin America's historical avant-gardes often engaged with certain stereotypes through critical mimicry, particularly in staging their own entrees to cultural life. The stylistic and genre hybridity of literature by women connected to the avant-gardes manifests the nimbleness required to find discursive strategies suited to their expressive needs and self-figuration as intellectuals. But hybridity also defined Latin America's avant-gardes overall, as did the self-conscious attention not only to art itself but also to the formation of the would-be artist. Later scholarship recuperates the complicated relationship of women writers to the avant-gardes, and it was precisely the public facet of vanguard activity that challenged women seeking to locate themselves as writers. The women of Latin America's historical avant-gardes, mediating their artistic identities and practices as individual figures among groups of men, sometimes stand out for their apparent radical solitude within that literary culture.
