  Juana Manuela Gorriti - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Juana Manuela Gorriti (1818-1896) was an Argentine writer.
Born in Salta near the Bolivian border, Gorriti came from a wealthy upper class family - her father, José Ignacio de Gorriti, was a politician and soldier, and signed the Argentine Declaration of Independence.
Gorriti wrote a number of novels and short stories, including "La hija del mazorquero" and "El lucero de manantial." Both of these stories are melodramic tales with a strong anti-Rosista political message.

 Hispania [Publicaciones periódicas]. Volume 75, Number 2, May 1992 - Biblioteca Virtual Miguel de Cervantes
Gorriti could draw on a wide spectrum of relatives and friends in the compilation of Cocina ecléctica, and from the contents of the book itself it appears that the idea met with great enthusiasm from the women she asked to participate in her project.
Gorriti's daughter Edelmira contributed a recipe for «humintas» which clearly underscored the contribution of the Indian in the preparation of these steamed packets of meat and corn wrapped in corn husks (77-80); there was also the touch of the gaucho in recipes for the tenderizing of meat and the proper preparation of «mate».
Although Gorriti herself may not have been an enthusiastic cook, she certainly would have understood Patricia Storace's recent observation: «It is in eating that we first learn something of our power over our own life and death, and our capacity to live in company with others» (45).

Like Gorriti returning to Buenos Aires late in life to attend a public celebration of her father’s achievements, Carolina Pérez, the narrator of Vos sabrás, begins this new novel by attending a public ceremony honoring her father, replete with speeches, monuments, and other paraphernalia of History.
In addition, both writers produce a contrasting set of writings, the fictional journal in Gorriti’s case and the novel we are reading in Carolina’s, which demand an educated reader capable of appreciating the literary and historical significance of their references.
Gorriti had close family connections to the history of two nations; her father and uncle had participated directly in the post-independence turmoil of mid-nineteenth-century Argentina, and her ex-husband had become Bolivia’s president.

Since 1831, when forced to follow her father into exile in Bolivia, Juana Manuela Gorriti had not returned to Salta; though there are some opinions about the stealth trip disguised in man’s clothes, depicted in her short story "Gubi Amaya", being somewhat autobiographic.
The structure is that of the best travel books: the trip becomes the thread, but the interpolation of remembrances is responsible for the weave.
A useful background fact is that, according to the 1895 census, the province of Salta had 118.015 inhabitants, and the capital city that awaited Juana Manuela Gorriti only 20.361; thus it was small, deeply religious and the rural aspects still permeated the everyday life.
