(also known
as Lea's Story)[1][2][3][4] is a novel written in Tagalog by
the Filipino female writer, Lualhati Bautista. Bautista
uses "Taglish" a mixture of Tagalog and English,
instead of pure Tagalog as a stylistic device for her
works.[5] The novel is about the role of a woman, like its
author, with Filipino society wherein the males were, in
the past, assuming more dominant roles in society. [1][2][3][4]
