“Victoria Ocampo: against the wind and the tide” by Doris Meyer
“Against all odds: a phrase from Victoria Ocampo herself, chosen by Doris Meyer to anticipate the image of a great woman and a great writer that she offers in these pages, written with fervor over years of rigorous research. In this essential biography, Doris Meyer shows us many phases of the superbe Argentine, as André Malraux once called Victoria Ocampo: not only does the writer with impetus and overwhelming personality emerge from this book, not only does her constant will to make our country a living center where the mightiest currents of thought, literature, and art from around the world intersect: the presence of a woman who has always fought for the rights of all women, who knew how to rebel against the strict codes of her social class, who fought battle after battle without making concessions or falling into easy sentimentality.”
