WITMonth Day 14 - Spotlight on the Caribbean

Truthfully, I haven't read enough Caribbean literature in any language. But WITMonth is a great opportunity to broaden our horizons, and so here's a starter-kit for Caribbean women writers in translation!

• Marie Vieux Chauvet (Haiti)
• Full Haitian resource: http://writersofhaiti.com/list-of-women-writers-of-haitian-descent/
• Gertrudis Gómez de Avellaneda (Cuba-Spain)
• Cubana (anthology of Cuban women writers)
• Daína Chaviano (Cuba)
• Julieta Campos (Cuba-Mexico)
• Wendy Guerra (Cuba)
• Dulce María Loynaz (Cuba)
• Mayra Montero (Cuba-Puerto Rico)
• Yolanda Arroyo Pizarro (Puerto Rico)
• Giannina Braschi (Puerto Rico)
• Julia de Burgos (Puerto Rico)
• Rosario Ferré (Puerto Rico)
• Ana Lydia Vega (Puerto Rico)
• Maryse Condé (Guadeloupe)
• Simone Schwarz-Bart (Guadeloupe)
• Three Women Poets from the Dominican Republic
• Hilma Contreras (Dominican Republic)

Once again, many older titles (indeed classic feminist works, by the looks of it) have not been translated. There's always more to explore!
