La única mujer de siete hermanos, Sandra Cisneros (1954-) es una de las escritoras mexicoestadounidenses más célebres. Su obra más famosa, La casa en Mango Street, retrata la vida de una joven en el barrio latino de Chicago y es lectura obligatoria en muchas escuelas preparatorias en los Estados Unidos.

Su estilo Las novelas de Cisneros contienen una prosa poética, con tintes feministas, que busca dar a conocer las vicisitudes que atraviesan las mujeres latinas en Estados Unidos. Su obra poética es un claro ejemplo del melodrama, quintaesencia de gran parte de la obra artística de la patria de sus antepasados.

Escrito para ser escuchado Los personajes de Cisneros tienen voz propia y retratan a la perfección la eterna lucha interna que atraviesan los que no se identifican con la sociedad americana, pero tampoco con aquella de la que provienen. La incertidumbre, la cautela y el vacío existencial se entremezclan en diálogos que intentan definir lo que es ser chicano.
