Los escritos de Clorinda Matto de Turner desde el exilio: el derecho de pensar y expresar el pensamiento

After the "coup d'état" that overthrew president Cáceres in 1895, the novelist Clorinda Matto, who was one of his most significant supporters, left Peru. After being to Chile, she definitively established herself in Buenos Aires. This article explores her long and productive exile. In her writings, Clorinda continued with her defence of feminine emancipation and, despite being separated from her land, she continued to imagine the Peruvian nation. This article analyses the Peru imagined by Clorinda Matto in her books Boreales, miniatures and porcelains, Viaje de recreo and in her correspondence with Ricardo Palma.
