"[Cisneros'] feminist, Mexican-American voice is not only playful and vigorous, it's original - we haven't heard anything like it before" (Peter S. Prescott, Newsweek). Written as a reaction to the marginalization she experienced during her academic years, Sandra Cisneros' 'The House on Mango Street' exemplifies the coming-of-age experience for a Latina American growing up in a poor and patriarchal community. The book has sold more than 6 million copies, has been translated into over 20 languages, and has been the recipient of several major literary awards, including the American Book Award from the Before Columbus Foundation.
