Author's name: Ángeles Mastretta
Women with Wide Eyes is one of the most prominent and influential feminist works in contemporary Latin American literature.

About the short story collection "Women with Wide Eyes"
What does it mean to be born a woman in a world that has already decided how you should live?
What if you decided—calmly and courageously—to go against all of that?
In this captivating collection, Ángeles Maestreta opens windows onto the lives of women born within narrow confines, yet who expanded them through their choices, their silence, and their growing awareness. These are women who don't raise loud slogans, but rather practice rebellion as a profound inner act, manifested in love, in rejection, in patience, and in withdrawal when necessary.
Between stories, we meet women who have faced illness and motherhood, loss and desire, belonging and estrangement, and emerged from the experience less innocent… and more powerful. Each woman has wide eyes, not because they look in wonder, but because they have seen so much, understood so much, and decided to keep going.
With a poetic and sensitive style, Maestrita blends the intimate and the political, the private and the public, giving each protagonist a unique and independent voice. Her stories, short in length but intense in their impact, are capable of transforming fleeting moments into unforgettable fragments of memory.
Women with Wide Eyes is not just a book about women,
Rather, it is a testament to inner dignity.
And about life when it is told from its true heart…
With an eye that sees, understands, and embraces the world.
