Abstract

Throughout the following lines we aim to answer why the Puerto Rican history of literature has always been predominantely male in spite of the existence of female writers during the first half-century of the 20th century. Thus, the deep analysis of the Puerto Rican literature written in the 1930 and 1940s, the literary canon and the lack of female names into it, especially Julia de Burgos, whose work has been relevant enough for the academics to review literature histories to make a change in order to add the missing females names into antologies.
