Publisher's Synopsis

When <em>La Brecha</em> was published in Chile in 1961, it was a revolutionary and controversial departure from the literary treatment of women and their role in marriage. Met with applause as well as an outcry, the book was a significant step forward for women in Latin America. Challenging the constraints of societal expectation on women at the time it was written, the novel concentrates on a woman who realises her own abilities to lead her life versus depending on a man. <br><br>Cuando La Brecha fue publicado en Chile en 1961, su tratamiento literario de la mujer y de su rol en el matrimonio fue una desviación revolucionaria y polémica. Recibido con tanto aplausos como protesta, el libro dio un paso adelante importante para mujeres en América Latina. Cuestionando las restricciones de las expectativas sociales de la mujer en la época en la que fue escrita, la novela se concentra en una mujer que descubre que ella misma tiene la capacidad de llevar su vida y que no hay que depender de un hombre para vivir.
