Autorenporträt
Clorinda Matto de Turner was a Peruvian writer and journalist, recognized for her contribution to indigenist literature and her fight for the rights of Indigenous peoples and women in Latin America. Her work challenged the social and political norms of her time, addressing issues such as injustice, colonial oppression, and cultural identity. Despite facing censorship and persecution, her legacy endures as one of the most influential voices of the 19th century in Hispanic American literature.

Matto de Turner became one of the first women to direct a newspaper in Peru when she took charge of El Perú Ilustrado. Her journalistic and literary work was marked by her defense of indigenism and her criticism of power structures dominated by the oligarchy and the Church. Her most famous novel, Birds without a Nest (1889), denounces the abuses of landowners and clergy against Indigenous people, becoming a milestone in Latin American social literature.

Matto de Turner was a pioneer of indigenism, a literary and social movement that sought to defend the rights and culture of Indigenous peoples. Her work influenced writers such as José María Arguedas and Ciro Alegría, who continued exploring Indigenous realities in their writings. Additionally, her advocacy for women's education and gender equality made her a key figure in Latin American feminism.

Her narrative style, clear and direct, combined elements of realism with strong social commitment. Through her writings, she denounced the structural injustices affecting Indigenous communities and promoted a shift in the mindset of Peruvian society at the time.
