	Gabriela Mistral - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gabriela Mistral (April 7, 1889 – January 10, 1957) was the pseudonym of Lucila de María del Perpetuo Socorro Godoy Alcayaga, a Chilean poet, educator, diplomat and feminist who was the first Latin American to win the Nobel Prize for Literature, in 1945.
		Gabriela Mistral was born in Vicuña, where she attended primary and secondary school.
		Mistral had passionate friendships with a number of men and women, and these impacted her writings.

		Mistral (whose given name was Lucila Godoy Alcayaga) was born into a middle-class family in a provincial town in the Chilean Andes, 400 kilometers north of the capital city.
		Mistral is the more effusive, to be sure: she apologizes more than once for monopolizing the conversation when they've met in person, and explains that there are few people to whom she can talk as freely as she can with Ocampo.
		Mistral's origins forever linked her with the rural middle class, a group associated with the impoverished countryside and with those seeking a better life by moving to the outskirts of the larger cities.

		She never married (the life-myth, which Mistral herself helped to promulgate in various versions, cloudily suggests youthful disappointments and an early male suitor who killed himself), and yet she raised a child, and she vividly registers the nuances of heterosexual womanhood, even the psychological and somatic intensities of pregnancy and maternity.
		Mistral's "feminism" assumed the constructive nature of gender roles; she saw suffrage as a problem less urgent than the challenge to honor, defend, and reward "female" work in "female" spheres, from which influence can expand outward.
		Mistral's relentless clarity pursues the questions of Sor Juana's experience beyond projective self-revelation and beyond immediate social politics as she moves toward a realization of the price that such tensions exact from the woman herself.

		Gabriela Mistral died in 1957 at the age of sixty-seven, she was living on Long Island in the affluent north-shore village of Roslyn Harbor, close to New York.

		A reading more or less equal to the riches of Gabriela Mistral’s written work still awaits us: it would require the efforts of a bookworm, and a frequent visitor to used book stalls, for the universal reputation of Gabriela Mistral has not brought with it a complete, corrected edition of her poetry.
		The great quantity of journalistic prose and letters written by Gabriela Mistral are still dispersed to the four winds, and the best critical studies of her work are very poorly distributed.
