María Virginia Estenssoro

María Virginia Estenssoro was born in 1903. A writer at odds with the conservative society of La Paz, she published only one book in her lifetime, and the scandal it caused then kept her away from publishing. She pursued a career as a journalist, contributing columns to newspapers and magazines, taught at the National Conservatory, directed the library of the National Congress from 1950 to 1957 and held diplomatic posts. She died in 1970; her children brought out a posthumous edition the following year.
