Juana Manuela Gorriti was a writer from Argentina. At an early age, she moved from her home in Argentina to Bolivia, where she met her future husband, Manuel Isidro Belzu. She was fifteen when she married.

In 1878, Gorriti returned to Argentina, after having lived with her husband in Peru for nine years. Numerous scandals in her life such as divorce and having a child out of wedlock did nothing to change her social status as an exceptional woman. Her life was a success and she was hailed as a famous, instructive, influential journalist in her day.
