Carmen Martín Gaite

Died in 2000

Carmen Martín Gaite was born in Salamanca in 1925. Her father, a notary of liberal views, refused to entrust her to a religious school, and she was first educated at home. She took a degree in Romance philology at Salamanca in 1948, moved to Madrid for a thesis that she did not complete, and entered, through Ignacio Aldecoa, the circle of writers of the generation of 1950; she married one of them, Rafael Sánchez Ferlosio. Winner of the Nadal Prize in 1957 and the Prince of Asturias Award in 1988, she wrote novels, short stories, essays and books for young readers, and died in 2000.
