The Inhabited Women

Lavinia is a young professional woman in an unnamed Latin American country, born into privilege and European trained. She dreamt of constructing buildings, leaving her mark, giving warmth and harmony to the concrete of the capital city. Lavinia is not to be the master of her own destiny, however, because she comes to be inhabited by the spirit of a woman indigenous to the area at the time of the Spanish conquest. As this woman of a previous age had used her energies as a force against the oppressor, so she compels Lavinia to use hers to fight against the political oppression of her contemporary world
