Memorial, 2014, by Annie López
The articles, creative writing, artistic production, and book reviews in this issue bring to fore new insight on subjectivity, voice and space for the many roles women play as mother, activists, musicians, writers and more. We thank Alejandra Elenes and Gloria H. Cuádraz for all their work and dedication to see this issue come to fruition.
