Ballad by gabriela mistral - Gabriela Mistral

In Mistral's collection you will encounter anonymous women whose fate is drawn in the titles of poems with a few brushstrokes only, for instance 'The Abandoned Woman', 'Prisoner's Woman' or 'She Who Waits'.

The poetry itself I was mixed about.

Despite their origin, they are not marble statues.

Ballads continue to maintain the recognition gained during the Medieval Period by appealing to people today.

Gabriela Mistral is a very interesting historical figure I wish I knew more about before.

The mistreatment of nature obviously infuriated Mistral, but her cause went beyond that, to the immoral and often criminal treatment of each other, especially of women and children.
