La Llave la Tengo Yo; Madrid, ES, 1997. Softcover. Near Fine. 0x0x0. Softcover. Text in Spanish. Text clean. Some yellowing to pages. Very, very small tear near bottom of spine. Rosamaria Roffiel (born August 30, 1945) is a Mexican poet, novelist, journalist, and editor. Her first literary work, "Amora" (1989), is considered the first lesbian-feminist novel published in Mexico. Narrated in first person, "Amora" is set in Mexico City, and tells, in a simple way, the difficulties women experience in an environment that is heavy with machismo. It is a story based on the experiences of the author, with some fictitious elements, which highlight the relationships among a group of women living under one roof, describes how sexuality is discovered through coexistence, and how the women must act under a patriarchal system that oppresses them. The style and influence of Roffiel's work have been compared to that of Guadalupe Loaeza and Rosario Castellanos.

English language. Metal pin with pink and black print under clear laminate. 1.25 x 1.25 in. 3 x 3 cm. 0.5 oz. Age evident but no issues. Very Good Plus."This pin comes out of the NEA-funding controversies of the early 1990s when white segregationist senator Jesse Helms went on a witch hunt through contemporary art, tarring and feathering artists like Andres Serrano, Karen Finley, and Robert Mapplethorpe. The contested issues of that moment around censorship, state funding, and transgression in the arts have been thoroughly taught to every subsequent generation of US art students. This pin bears testament to that.
