María Cruz
Died in 1915
María Cruz Arroyo was born on 12 May 1876 in Guatemala, the daughter of the jurist and diplomat Fernando Cruz. Her mother died when she was eleven, and she then followed her father to Washington and, in 1890, to Europe, where she studied in France, Spain, Great Britain, Italy and Belgium. For twelve years she shared in the salon life of her country's legation in Paris, where she became close to the Guatemalan poets passing through; she translated Baudelaire and left a book written in French. She died in Paris in 1915, and her remains were repatriated much later.
