These letters are interesting for two main reasons: On the one hand, they provide a critical view of the war, from the point...

These letters are interesting for two main reasons: On the one hand, they provide a critical view of the war, from the point of view of a woman from the social elite of Buenos Aires, who shares Alberdi’s political convictions; and, on the other, they contain a number of discursive operations, that Caneva had to carry out with effort, in order to fulfill the duties of “war correspondent” that Alberdi somehow seemed to have assigned her.
