When La Brecha was published in Chile in 1961, it was a revolutionary and controversial departure from the literary treatment of women and their role in marriage. Met with applause as well as an outcry, the book was a significant step forward for women in Latin America. Challenging the constraints of societal expectation on women at the time it was written, the novel concentrates on a woman who realizes her own abilities to lead her life versus depending on a man.
