Alfonsina, born in 1892, published her work between 1916 and 1938, and her poetry evolved from the naïve romanticism in her first books, (for example La inquietud del rosal and El dulce daño), to the vanguard expression and techniques of her last two books, Mascarilla y Trébol and Mundo de siete pozos.
Alfonsina's life and creation were contemporary with those of three other famous women poets from neighboring Latin American countries, the Chilean Gabriela Mistral and two Uruguayans, Delmira Agustini and Juana de Ibarbourou.
The personal life of Alfonsina was a statement in itself about discrimination against women who did not fit with the social stereotype of her period.

Alfonsina Storni was one of the leading feminist poets and playwrights in Latin America at the beginning of the twentieth century.
“Alfonsina Storni, a major Argentine feminist, earned her reputation as a poet and playwright and today is rightfully situated as one of Latin America’s leading writers.
Storni displays, again, the finely-honed feminist sensibility that marks her poetry, but with a political clarity and social subtlety that is perhaps only possible in theater.” – Ann Farnsworth-Alvear, Director of Latin American and Latino Studies and Associate Professor of History, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia.
