This Wednesday, Elena Poniatowska became the fourth women that wins the Cervantes Prize. In her speech, the winner has praise Gabriel Garcia Marquez for help South America to became an important place for readers. Then she talks about the problems that her country has explaining how women, children, seniors has suffering.
Elena was born in Polonia, at the age of 10 she went to live to Mexico, at the age of 18 she began working in the newspaper Excelsior. After that she has wrote more than fifty essays, books... the most important are La noche de Tlatelolco and Las soldaderas, Women of the Mexican Revolution.
