This America of Ours

Elizabeth Horan is Professor and Chair of the Department of English at Arizona State University. Doris Meyer is Roman S. & Tatiana Weller Professor Emeritus of Hispanic Studies at Connecticut College and a Visiting Scholar at the University of New Mexico's Latin American and Iberian Institute.

"Meyer and Horan have done extraordinary and valuable work in collecting and editing the letters of Victoria Ocampo and Gabriela Mistral in This America of Ours... Ocampo and Mistral's exchanges often reveal their differing approaches to literature, politics, and feminism and, as such, provide an example of the richness and variety of women's intellectual engagement in Latin America." oElizabeth A. Marchant, Associate Professor of Spanish and Portuguese, UCLA
