Abstract
LUNA CHAVEZ, Marisol and DIAZ ARCINIEGA, Víctor. MONEY, CLASS, AND MARRIAGE: THREE FEMALE CONTEXTS IN THE WORK OF LUISA JOSEFINA HERNÁNDEZ. Linguist.lit. [online]. 2021, n.80, pp.101-117. Epub Dec 07, 2022. ISSN 0120-5587. https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.lyl.n80a07.
In this article we analyze four works of Luisa Josefina Hernández (1928) from three female contexts of mid- twentieth century Mexico: the confrontation between work and family life, changes in gender roles based on economic income, and the reorganization or stagnation of authority in marriage. Here we examine how these transformations impacted the author’s critical reflection, who pointed out the devastating effect of some destructive behaviors, generationally repeated, and rescued the attitudes of those who acquired, although based on mistakes, the ability to break old paradigms.
Keywords : Luisa Josefina Hernández (1928); mid-twentieth century Mexican literature; feminine literature; marriage; socioeconomic status.
