Double Binds: Latin American Women's Prison Memories
Hypatia 11 (4):130 - 145 (1996)
| Abstract | Scant attention given to gender in Latin American prison experiences implies that men and women suffer similarly and react according to their shared beliefs. This essay explores the prison memoirs of four Latin American women. Each account uses a standardized prison narrative adjusted to suit the narrator's own purpose and hints at how sexuality and motherhood, which shape women's experiences in prison, have been removed from sight. | |||||||||
