«Las niñas bien» is the book of chronicles by Guadalupe Loaeza, published by Océano in paperback (140 pages, in Spanish).
The book brings together ironic portraits of women from Mexico City's upper bourgeoisie in the 1980s: their lifestyles, their concerns, and the obsession with keeping up appearances even in the face of economic crisis. The author describes that world with humor and critical distance, without rancor, because she knows the archetypes she draws from up close.
Originally published on October 1, 1991. In reference catalogs it appears classified among literature, sociology, and feminism.
For those interested in social criticism, customs chronicle, and Mexico City in the 1980s.
María Guadalupe Loaeza Tovar is a contemporary Mexican writer, author of many books including Las Niñas Bien, Las Reinas de Polanco, Debo, Luego Sufro and Compro, Luego Existo, in which she ironizes about the Mexican upper class. A participant in Elena Poniatowska's writing workshops in the mid-1980s, she has transformed her success as a chronicler, observer, and critic of the Mexican bourgeoisie and the post-1985 democratization of Mexico into a successful career. Known for her trademark pearl necklace and for her francophile tendencies, she has become an influential cultural figure. Some of her books are compilations of her articles published in newspapers such as Unomásuno and La Jornada. She was born in Mexico City. She had two children from her first marriage. In 2003, Guadalupe Loaeza received the distinction of Chevalier from the Légion d'Honneur of France.
