Summary/Abstract: This paper examines three novels authored by women that explore various periods of Spanish and Italian migration to Argentina during the early 20th century. Emphasis is placed on the marginalized female protagonists and their roles within these narratives. Additionally, the analysis encompasses the construction of memory through letters, recollections, and objects, as well as the formation of reimagined communities.
