Almost 10 years ago, the world met Jane Villanueva, an aspiring writer who managed to get pregnant despite being a virgin. And over the five "Jane the Virgin" seasons that followed, we watched her journey of writing, working in publishing, getting an Mfa, and deciding when to finally leave her day job - and that doesn't count her baby-daddy issues! Today, the star of "Jane the Virgin," Gina Rodriguez is out in a new network sitcom, "Not Dead Yet," playing another writer and breaking records as ABC's most-watched comedy debut in four years.
This all begs the question: what is it to be a Latina writer, and why are we so fascinated by this particular identity? To find out, Popsugar spoke to four Latinas in publishing, all at different stages in their careers, about "Jane the Virgin," how the show managed to capture some truths of their experiences, and their hopes for the industry moving forward.
