The importance of Gabriela Mistral

Who was this person... Her rial name was Lucila de María del Perpetuo Socorro Godoy Alcayaga.
One of the most important women that the country had I think, and the only woman that had received a Premio Nobel, specifically of Literature on 1945. She was an outstanding poet, but she was not important only in that area, there actions in the movements feminist and in the politic where so important in the epoch. In fact, when she died, in the testament she left stipulate that part of her money where destined for the poor children’s of Montegrande in Chile.

In this action we can see her great heart and the passion that she had for the reading and compassion for the people who need it most. It is a legacy that not all Chilean people know.


I think that Gabriela Mistral is an important person because was a famous person that have the courage to confront machismo dominant in Chile, specifically I that epoch.

If she was alive I would like ask how her could did to educate and have that critical thought’s about the persons and the system in which she lived. 

Like I say, she was an important person in the feminist movements, in fact some people thought he had an affair with the north American Doris Dana but this is only rumors. The important that she was a person who brought out the strength and importance that could come to have any woman include in the works named “for men’s” like be president of a country.
