Abstract
For the last eleven years of her life—1963 to 1974—the Mexican woman-of-letters Rosario Castellanos published a regular article in the opinion section of the Mexico City newspaper Excélsior. This edition provides a selection of 65 of these 341 articles, in both the original Spanish and in translation to English, with editorial annotations illuminating the articles’ historical, literary, and textual contexts; it is accompanied by a chronology largely of Castellanos’s life and work, in particular detail for the Excélsior years, and by a catalogue of all her Excélsior opinion articles.
