La Doña

This #dwacuenticos chapbook was compiled by the answer to our March 2022 call for submissions titled: La Doña.
12 contributing Dominican writers shared narratives of women in their families who have carried the weight of protecting, guiding, and educating in a society where men are dominant, and the home is ruled by the woman. They described the women who have fought and embraced the expectations of the matriarchal role and what they left behind.
