This article explores how racism, gender discrimination, and hypersexualization affected indigenous women in viceregal Peru, using Clorinda Matto de Turner’s novel Aves sin nido as a basis. Similarly, it is analyzed how these same factors also affected AfricanAmerican women in the United States during the time of slavery. In both cases, it is argued that the idea of racial behavior reinforces the repression of women who represent the minority in their respective countries.
