The Argentine writer Gabriela Cabezón Cámara, awarded the Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz Literature Prize 2024, returns to Mexico less than a year later to continue her work of giving voice and recognition to women and writers who have been marginalized in the history of literature.
In a recent interview, Cabezón Cámara expressed her commitment to literary justice, emphasizing the importance of making visible and valuing the work of women in a field that has long been dominated by men. The author pointed out that her goal is to break the tradition of literature being a "club of white men," and to highlight the diversity of perspectives and voices that enrich the literary landscape.
"Literature was a club of white men," asserted Gabriela Cabezón Cámara, underlining the need to question established canons and open space for a plurality of narratives. The Argentine author continues to challenge patriarchal structures through her works, where she addresses themes such as identity, gender violence, and the struggle for equality.
With her visit to Mexico, Gabriela Cabezón Cámara aims to inspire new generations of female readers and writers, fostering reflection on the importance of inclusion and equity in the world of literature. Her presence in the country is part of a continuous commitment to giving visibility to silenced voices and honoring the legacy of female figures who have significantly contributed to the field of letters.
