De puertas adentro

1926-04-06

The Woman's Outlook published literary works by foreign authors translated into Spanish, as was the case in the rest of Philippine newspapers and magazines. In this case, being the magazine of the national federation of women's clubs, it is especially significant that they published a story by Margaret Culkin Banning (1891-1982), an American author and first wave feminist. This attests to the American influence on Filipino feminism and the stance of the editor, Pura Villanueva Kalaw. 

The story "De puertas adentro" was published in several installments and deals with the political wheeling and dealing of a leading suffragette in the United States and a senator and his wife.
