Lily Sosa de Newton

[2] She wrote her first essay 'Las Argentinas de ayer y hoy' (the Argentinian women from then and today) which had a very favorable review in all newspapers.

The Editorial Plus Ultra, which published books by Jorge Newton-a series about the caudillos of the provinces- proposed her to write about characters in Argentine history such as Lavalle, Dorrego and Paz, among others.

Excited with the success of 'Las Argentinas de ayer y hoy', she faced a very arduous work, which was the Biographical Dictionary of Argentine Women.

On the basis of the file of names, which she had done for her previous essay, she began to write biographies of all the most outstanding historical female characters, from the world of literature, art, education and politics.

She won the first prize in the contest of EUDEBA (Editorial University of Buenos Aires) for the Collection "Genius and Figure" with her book on Hilario Ascasubi, published in 1980, and the Honorable Mention Award "Ricardo Rojas" in Buenos Aires.
