MONROY ZULUAGA, Leonardo. The Image of Women in Latin American Bourgeoise Mentality: A Reading of Blanca Sol by Mercedes Cabello de Carbonera. La Palabra [online]. 2020, n.37, pp.75-86.  Epub 22-Nov-2020. ISSN 0121-8530.  https://doi.org/10.19053/01218530.n37.2020.9914.

This article interprets the image of women into the bourgeoisie mentality, based on a reading of Blanca Sol, a novel of the Peruvian writer Mercedes Cabello de Carbonera. This analysis is divided into three main parts: in the first part, there is a comprehension of the way the narrator (an alter ego of the author) observers the bourgeoisie society and the implications of the social promotion and equality. In the second part, this paper describes how the author of Blanca Sol tries to expose the multiple vicious of this new bourgeoise lifestyle such as hypocrisy, abjection and money desire, and how women can be part of the problem but also part of the solution. The last part developes an analysis of how in the novel Blanca Sol, Cabello de Carbonera assumes the secularization, one of the most important characteristics of modern society supported by bourgeoisie.
