Happy International Women's Day! Today we will start our reading and analysis of The House on Mango Street, by Sandra Cisneros. The book was first published in 1984. Acclaimed by critics and taught in a wide range of schools in the US (from high schools to universities across the country), the novel is a collection of vignettes that tell us the story of a young Latina girl, Esperanza Cordero, growing up in Chicago.
As an introduction to our analysis and discussions, please watch the following videos of Sandra Cisneros. We will talk about them in our next class.
