Norah Lange Books
Norah Lange was an avant-garde Argentine prose writer and poet who shattered the canon that women should not write prose. Initially associated with the Martín Fierro group, where she encountered Jorge Luis Borges, she later joined the Proa group with Leopoldo Marechal. Her works, such as 'Cuadernos de Infancia', explore themes of childhood and memory with a distinctive style. She was a daring figure who expanded the literary horizons for women writers in Argentina.
