1. Mujeres Vestidas
A collection of essays that interweaves memoir and cultural criticism to explore how clothing shapes female identity, desire, and power, particularly within Latin American contexts. Reflecting on beauty standards, class and race dynamics, pop culture, and the contradictions of glamour, it examines fashion as both a tool of self-expression and a site of discipline, tracing the ambivalent pleasures, resistances, and narratives women craft when they get dressed.
