The Youngest Doll
Lincoln: University of Nebraska, 1991. First American Edition, SIGNED on the title page by Ms. Ferré (1938-2016). Translated from original Spanish "Papeles de Pandora" by author. Ferré's fiction focuses on the inferior status of women in Puerto Rico and their dual role as nurturer (wife and mother) and temptress (like Pandora, the dangerous female from mythical Greece who tempted a man into opening a box that released the world's troubles). Jean Franco wrote the in-depth analysis of these short stories in the foreword.
