In the 1980s there was a proliferation of poetry collections, short stories, and novels published by women of Latin American descent in the United States. ██ ███ ███ ██ ███ ███████ ███████ █████ ██ ████ ██████ ████████ ███ ██████████████ ████ ████ ████ ██████████ ████ ███ ███████████ ██ █████ ███████ ████████████████ ████████████ ██████ ██ ███ ███ ██████ ██ ███ █████ █████ ███ ███ ███████ ██ ████████ ███████ ███████ ████ ██████ ██ ██████ ██████ ███████ ███ ███████ ████████ ███ ██████████████ █████████ ██ ██████ ██████████

This merely indicates that most works after the Latina writers’ works haven’t been recognized for a certain feature. But this doesn’t undermine the idea the the Latina writers’ works were revolutionary. Other people who came after them might not be praised, but this doesn’t relate to the revolutionary impact of the Latina writers.

Most critically acclaimed works by Latina writers might not be the kind of autobiography discussed in the passage; but the autobiographies discussed in the passage can still be revolutionary. What if autobiographies are just not a popular kind of work to write, so Latina authors typically choose to write other things? This doesn’t imply that the Latina authors discussed in the passage who chose to write autobiographies weren’t innovative in the genre of autobiography.

This merely indicates that some autobiographies that came after these Latina writers’ works are conventional. This doesn’t undermine the claim that the Latina writers’ works were revolutionary.

This undermines the claim by providing evidence that the Latina writers’ works were not as innovative or revolutionary as the author thinks. If autobiographies from the 1800s (ninteenth-century = 1800s) used mixed structures and mutiple authorship, then those autobiographies already used the same structural “innovations” that the Latina writers’ used.

This tells us that non-autobiographical works have been praised for innovative structures. But it doesn’t suggest that the Latina writers’ autobiographies were NOT innovative.
