Abstract
Dwelling on both Cisneros' poems, My Wicked Wicked Ways, and on her two collections of short stories, The House on Mango Street and Woman Hollering Creek, the article attempts to analyze the ways in which Cisneros' writings move beyond the cultural authenticity precept of Chicano literature. Through a permanent questioning of feminine identity in an increasingly heterogeneous world Cisneros reaches a more comprehensive vision of American society on both sides of the Mexican-American border.
