MANTELLI, Nora  and  SARDIELLO, Natalia. Salvadora investigates the epistemic canon. About the genre category as literature teaching contení: The case of Salvadora Medina Onrubia. Aljaba [online]. 2011, vol.15, pp. 125-142. ISSN 1669-5704.

The inclusion of Salvadora Medina Onrubia (La Plata, 1894-Buenos Aires, 1971) in the secondary school literary canon constitutes one possible way of working on the issue of genre as teaching content. In this article, we study the convergence of feminine and anarchist assertions in the narrative texts of this author, the intent of her discourse and the reading public to whom it is addressed. Secondly, we evaluate the possibility of including Salvadora Medina Onrubia´s fiction in the reading repertoire for secondary education.
