Sudestada is an association of women writers
in Buenos Aires. (The Sudestada is a powerful storm,
specific to Buenos Aires, that clears the air, shows the precarious
nature of all construction, and reveals inequalities.)

Mission Statement
Argentina is a large country but our memory
and knowledge of the history of our women writers, and of
women writers in the present, are proportionately very small,
reduced by isolation, omission and the silencing done by publishing
houses, the media and academe. We have formed Sudestada to
strengthen our ties with our own past, with our literary ancestors,
and among ourselves today, so that women's writing will be
valued and occupy the place it deserves in the Argentine cultural
tradition.
History, Goals, and Activities
Sudestada was formed in 1999; its first public
activity was a national conference of Argentinian women writers
held in March 2000, at which the following goals were adopted:
- To know the women writers of all disciplines in Buenos
Aires and their work
- To increase distribution of their work
- To popularize their theoretical and critical work, and
other theory and criticism with a feminist or gender perspective
- To encourage the reading of women's books
- To promote the publication of women's books
- To hold regional, national and international conferences
- To cooperate with networks of other women writers
- To consolidate REBA (Network of Women Writers from the
city and province of Buenos Aires), a data base of women
writers, their activities and work
