Soledad Acosta de Samper (1833-1913) is the most prolific and important woman writer of the 19th century in Colombia. She is an exceptional representative of Colombian intellectual life of that century, not only for the caliber of her writing, the divergent disciplines that she researched and wrote about, and the intense cultural work that she undertook. An avid reader, in her travels to England and France, she personally lived the debates regarding the public presence of the woman writer, as well as the influence that women should or could exercise in society, especially in the lives of other women.

These narratives have an essential objective: the circulation of meanings, ideas and identities. Acosta de Samper used fiction to aid women in their understanding of themselves and their world. This collection is comprised of Dolores (novel), Teresa la limena (novel), El corazon de la mujer: Matilde, Manuelita, Mercedes, Juanita, Margarita, Isabel (novel), La perla del valle (short story), Ilusion y realidad (short story), Luz y sombra (short story), Tipos sociales: La monja, Mi madrina (stories), Un crimen (short story).
