Abstract:
"Gabriela Mistral is the only Latin American woman writer to be awarded the Nobel Prize in literature. Even so, her extraordinary achievements in poetry, narrative, and political essays remain largely untold. Gabriela Mistral: The Audacious Traveler explores the complex legacy of Mistral and the ways in which her work continues to define the Americas." "Gabriela Mistral: The Audacious Traveler is the first work to explore the totality of Mistral's vision and her political writings. It addresses her leadership as a representative of Chile during the drafting of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights and her work on behalf of a unified American hemisphere. Throughout, she is depicted as a courageous social activist whose writings reveal a passionate voice for freedom and justice."--BOOK JACKET.
