La mujer “real”: cuerpos e historias particulares en Real Women Have Curves de Josefina López

Abstract

This article analyzes the power relations between the subjects “men” and “women” in Josefina López’ play Real Women Have Curves. From a post-colonial feminist approach, we study the male domination over the female body – as colonized bodies – and the need, as suggested in the play, of a multicultural – not ethnocentric–, inclusive, feminist study that takes into consideration the particularities of the double-marginalized women (as women and as women from developing countries) as opposed to an absolute and essentialist identity.
