ADELA ZAMUDIO

The project ‘Poems – Radical Verses of an Illustrious Woman’ is an emblematic work that brings together the complete compilation of the poems of Adela Zamudio. The entrepreneur and writer Mario Aguilera, in a tribute to this outstanding Bolivian poetess, undertakes the task of bringing her literature from the past to the present, infusing it with a modern touch that will captivate all readers who love the departed. Throughout her literary career, Adela Zamudio, who was born in 1854, distinguished herself with her deep commitment to gender equality and social justice, despite facing significant obstacles during her early education.

During a time when educational opportunities were limited, Adela Zamudio’s pursuit of knowledge was extraordinary. She was only allowed to study until the 3rd grade in school due to the restrictions imposed during the presidency of Mariano Melgarejo. Undeterred, she continued her education independently, spending countless hours alone in libraries to develop her writing skills. To study foreign authors of the time, she even learned English with the help of her father.

In an era where influencers are role models for our youth, we consider her to be a beacon of inspiration not only for Bolivian women but for the entire world, and it is worth sharing this legacy. For the first time, this book presents all of her complete poems, including those that had been lost to time. Thanks to our dedicated research team, we want to offer this literary gem to our beloved Bolivia and the world.

This poetry collection is a poetic immersion into the condition of women in a society marked by inequality and oppression. Adela Zamudio, through her perseverance and dedication, used her pen to address topics such as gender equality, the struggle for women’s rights, and the pursuit of intellectual and social emancipation.

Throughout the pages of ‘Radical Verses of an Illustrious Woman,’ we encounter powerful metaphors and a deep poetic sensibility that invite us to reflect and reevaluate social norms. Adela Zamudio challenged the conventions of her time and used her poetry as a tool to question and transform society.

This poetry collection has become a reference point in Bolivian literature and in the history of the women’s rights movement in Latin America. Adela Zamudio’s voice resonates through the pages, reminding us of the importance of equality and justice in an ever-evolving society.”
