Doris Gibson Parra del Riego (Spanish pronunciation: [ˌd̪o.ɾis xiβ̞ˌsõm ˌpa.ra ð̞el ˈrje.ɣ̞o]; 28 April 1910 – 23 August 2008)[1] was a Peruvian magazine writer and publisher.
[2] She has been described as "a feminist before the movement had begun, and according to many, a visionary who influenced the course of Peru's recent history through the brave and defiant reporting of the magazine she created".
"[2] Gibson started the weekly news magazine Caretas in 1950, using 10,000 soles which her uncle had lent her, along with a room and a typewriter.
The government of Alejandro Toledo (2001–2006) also awarded the magazine the Grand Cross of the Orden al Mérito por Servicios Distinguidos [es].
[3] Her grandson Marco Zilero Dougall was editor of the magazine when Doris Gibson Parra died in Lima.
