Sandra Cisneros was influenced by her father’s craft as an upholsterer. In 2015 she told NPR that her father’s work “taught me a lot about mastering craft and taking the time to make something well if your name was going to be put on it.” She was also influenced by her experiences as a Hispanic woman in an Anglo-dominated culture. She began exploring this theme during her time as a student at the University of Iowa Writers’ Workshop.
