'''Carmen Boullosa''' (born September 4, 1954, in [[Mexico City]], [[Mexico]]) is a Mexican poet, novelist and playwright. Her work focuses on the issues of feminism and gender roles within a Latin American context. It has been praised by a number of writers, including [[Carlos Fuentes]],<ref>{{cite
==Early life==

Boullosa has published eighteen novels.<ref name="congressbio"/> Though all different from one another, on theme and form, Boullosa
One of her novels, ''Son vacas, somos puercos'' (1991, translated into English in 1997 as ''They're Cows, We're Pigs''<ref>{{cite
Boullosa is also well known for her ''Teatro herético'' (1987), a compilation of three parodies in play format—''Aura y las once mil vírgenes'', ''Cocinar hombres'', and ''Propusieron a María''. The first tells the story of a man called by God to "deflower" eleven thousand virgins in his life, so that heaven's overpopulation problem might be addressed, since the women will have to wait in purgatory for a time. The man then uses his sexual encounters as material for his television commercials and becomes a successful advertising agent. ''Cocinar hombres'' tells the story of two girls who find themselves to have become young adult witches overnight, so as to fly over the earth tempting but not satisfying men. Finally, the third play satirically recounts the conversation between [[Saint Joseph|Joseph]] and [[Mary, the mother of Jesus|Mary]] before Mary gives birth to [[Jesus]] and ascends to heaven.
