Uniting female and male intellectuals, race became the unifying factor, to propel women forward as moral compasses guiding the home and nation.

In 1990, the writer and historian, Julio Jaime Julia, profiled her in his book Haz de luces, which highlighted the contributions of outstanding Dominican women.
