Chilean feminist library helping preserve works by 'forgotten' women authors

 

Maria Luisa Bombal, Pia Barrios, Lucia Berlin and Irene Nemirovsky are just some of the "forgotten" female authors whose works fills the bookshelves of a small public library in the heart of the Chilean capital. Vitoria Quiroz, a 71-year-old retiree, is one of the oldest users of the so-called "Women's Library", a space that also hosts workshops and a reading club.
