Cisneros is an acclaimed and influential writer in the Chicano tradition, first breaking into the literary world with her famous novel THE HOUSE OF MANGO STREET (1983). Her reputation also rests on this multiple award-winning collection, featuring vignettes (much like the structure of MANGO STREET) that explore the lives of Mexican American women. The author bio at the rear describes Cisneros as "The daughter of a Mexican father and a Mexican-American mother, and sister to six brothers, she is nobody's mother and nobody's wife."
