In The House on Mango Street, Sandra Cisneros draws on her own experience as a Hispanic woman writer facing obstacles in a patriarchal community resistant to change. Published in 1984 to instantaneous acclaim, the book is made up of lyrical passages, interconnected vignettes, and meditations and observations that resemble prose poems. Cisneros's structurally and thematically bold work explores the often violent coming of age of a young Mexican-American woman.

Sandra Cisneros has overcome many hardships, including poverty and racism, to become a unique voice of Mexican-American literature. Her first novel, THE HOUSE ON MANGO STREET, was written so that everyone who picked it up would be able to read it. The popular work was one of the first novels that reworked American literature to include diverse cultural expression to include diverse literature across the United States.
