Histories to Be Written: Matters of Gender in Five Contributions to Art History in Puerto Rico

Abstract

This issue features recent research in art history in Puerto Rico, focusing on a group of women as protagonists, either as creators or in different aspects of their identity and iconography. Using both art historical and historiographic approaches, documentation and interpretation is provided in terms of how these women challenge different aspects of the discipline within temporal and cultural contexts, and in recognition of their important contributions to this field of knowledge.
