Separated by more than a decade, La rosa muerta (1914) and Mi vida junto a Enrique Gómez Carrillo (1929) establish nevertheless a delayed dialogue in time and space. This dialogue has as its central axis the various modes that Cáceres found to narrate her intimacy in a world that was going through a profound modernization process, which included new sexual-affective roles, like that one of the first decades of the 20th century. What to tell and how to tell it become in this context two fundamental problems from which the author will explore multiple ways of intertwining her writings with her own life, modeling in this process stories that investigate female sexuality and desire, denounce the moral codes that subdue women and recover the value of experience to ward off death.
