Woman Hollering Creek
This wonderfully written story by Sandra Cisneros details the life of Cleófilas, the main character. Cleófilas deals with several problems during her childhood and continuing on into her marriage. The story never describes any significant relationship with her mother and the negative effects of this can be clearly seen throughout Cisneros’ piece of work. Cleófilas instead turns to the television, particularly the telenovelas, for a female role model in her life. After Cleófilas was married, her husband became terribly abusive towards her. Because Cleófilas had no real female role model in her life, she did not know any better and allowed herself to remain in an abusive relationship.
