Luisa Valenzuela is a post-'Boom' novelist and short story writer whose work is characterized by an experimental, avant-garde style. She uses her writing to question hierarchical social structures from a feminist perspective. Valenzuela is best known for her pieces written in response to Argentina's 1970s dictatorship, combining a powerful critique of authoritarianism with an examination of patriarchal social organization and the power structures inherent in human sexuality and gender relationships.
