¡Feliz Cumpleaños, María Ruiz de Burton!


AKA María Amparo Ruiz de Burton.

Born July 3, 1832. Died August 12, 1895.

She was the first female Mexican-American author to write in English. She was not exactly the most politically correct Hispanic writer who ever lived but she was the first to give Mexican-American women a voice in English.
