I've always wanted to learn more about Julia de Burgos, and not only to read a couple of her poems, especially since I love her poem "Yo misma fui mi Ruta" but because I believe that since she was a pioneer in feminism, her life and her work caused a great impact on Puerto Rican women.
Interesting fact: Julia de Burgos was a teacher. I plan to become a teacher soon. A couple of years ago, I had the chance to help and cover a teacher friend's maternity leave at a school called Julia de Burgos (curious) and I've always had an inkling to find out a bit about her. So, I went to the Seminario de Estudios Hispanicos at this faculty to gather some information about her work and how her writing resembled women's feelings and aspirations back at the time.
Here is the bibliography of different articles where I found information about Julia de Burgos and women's education in PR.
