Woman of the hollering creek

I realy enjoyed this novel, i htink the author does a great job of putting all the stories together and setting common themes like struggle of woman and protraying different types of woman. like in other books we have read in this oen realigion is also a important theme, like it is on the life of eevry day people. One thing I noticed and also erad from other critics is the fact that she steretypes men alot especialy the image of the Latin men, she portays them all as players and abusers of woman, i belive she should have included more diverse men and not just one type. An intrestign not e that i want to add is that Woman holleirng creek exsist and its a creek filled with legends of spirits o fwoman that hunt the creek specialy of one woman that is said to have killed her baby because her husban left her.

Hey there Esmerelda,

I agree with you and a few others who have commented on Cisneros' use of stereotypical men in this book; she made it seem like those were the only type of men that existed. One would have to wonder if the author makes this stereotype based on her own personal (negative) experiences with men...
