Blanca Olmedo

Blanca Olmedo is perhaps the best known novel of the noted Honduran novelist Lucila Gamero. A romance novel, published at a time when the trend for romantic literature had fallen out of fashion in Central America, it was completed in 1903 and published in 1908.^[1] It is considered to be one of the most important novels in Honduran literature in the early twentieth century. It is unusual given that it was written by a female writer who was critical of the corrupt establishment in Honduras.^[2][3]
