Description

This compelling book offers an in-depth examination of patriarchy as presented in Sandra Cisneros's novel The House on Mango Street, as well as contemporary perspectives on this issue. Discussions include how the protagonist's female gender affects reaction to the book's coming-of-age message, how themes of oppression and marginalization play out among the characters, and what Esperanza's personality says about her relationships to males in the novel.
