Evangelina was better known as a fictionist, Nilda's talent was in writing lyric prose, and Adelina also wrote short stories and even an allegorical play. Each woman, through her works, reflected the social, political, and moral issues of the time. Like their male counterparts they voiced in the lines and passages of their poems and stories the love for Spain, the Philippines, and mistrust towards America, the new colonial masters at the time. Likewise, these writers extolled the virtues of the Filipino race and the Christian influence on their lives. Evangelina Guerrero-Zacarias, Nilda Guerrero-Barranco, and Adelina Monasterio Gurrea all lived during the period of American Colonialism. But they were also important writers during the Golden Age of Philippine literature in Spanish. As such, their writings conformed to the literary conventions, themes, and development of their time. Their works were paeans to Hispanidad and Filipinidad their deep faith in the Catholic religion was also evident. 1998-01-01T08:00:00Z text https://animorepository.dlsu.edu.ph/etd_doctoral/1150 Dissertations English Animo Repository Authors, Filipino Women authors Anthologies Literature -- Collections Zacarias, Evangelina Guerrero Barranco, Nilda Guerrero Gurrea, Adelina Monasterio English Language and Literature
