Hispanic Heritage Month is observed from September 15 to October 15 every year, to celebrate the warmth and vitality of the Hispanic culture. It also recognizes the contributions of Hispanic Americans in helping shape the national character of America.
To accompany the McCain Library display featuring works of selected Hispanic women writers, we have compiled a bibliography consisting of books, journal articles, and websites on Latin American literature.
