María Enriqueta Camarillo

She was widely recognized for her works, with schools and libraries named after her, as well as a bust by Spanish sculptor Mariano Benlliure erected in Hidalgo Park in Mexico City in her honor.

For the same work, she also received the prize for best children's literature from the Literary Salon of the Universal Exposition in Seville, Spain.

[1] There is a historical plaque marking the house where she was born, located on Jiménez del Campillo Street in Coatepec.

[6] In 1894 she published her first poem, “Hastío,” in the literary supplement of the newspaper El Universal, using the pseudonym Ivan Moszkowski.

[10] When her father died the following year, Manuel Gutiérrez Nájera offered her the opportunity to tell his story in Revista Azul.

The women who wrote for La Mujer Mexicana were poets, writers, teachers, lawyers, and doctors.

They remained a mainstay in Mexican education until Lázaro Cárdenas changed the national school curricula to reflect a Socialist ideology.

A monument was erected in Hidalgo Park in Mexico City featuring a bronze bust of Camarillo, created by the Spanish sculptor Mariano Benlliure.

El misterio de su muerte and Enigma y Símbolo were both published in 1926, after which she returned to poetry with Album sentimental (1926).

Del tapiz de mi vida (Tapestry of my life) is a collection of autobiographical reflections on children, he mother's death, and travels through Belgium, Switzerland, and Spain.

It is now called the "Maria Enriqueta Camarillo House Museum" and is located in her hometown of Coatepec, Veracruz, Mexico.
