Biography
[edit]María del Carmen Gutiérrez Sánchez was born in 1921. Her nickname was "Carmela", a name with which she even signed some of her translations.[2]
She was a professor of Geography and History at the Ramiro de Maeztu Institute in Madrid, a profession that she combined with her career as a translator of French and English, as well as a writer mainly of romantic novels, under the pseudonyms of Miguel Arazuri, André Ronsac, Clara San Miguel, Alice Norton and Enid Colman.[2] She authored some 30 novels, some of them forming part of a wider entity.[2] She was also the founder and manager of Fundación Stella, an independent radio venture.[3]
She married the teacher and writer Rafael Gambra Ciudad, and the couple had three children, Andrés, José Miguel and Irene, all of them teachers.[2][4] Of their two sons, Andrés Gambra Gutiérrez is professor of medieval history[5] and the university official,[6] while José Miguel Gambra Gutiérrez is scholar in philosophy,[7] both in Madrid. The two are active Traditionalists,[8] the latter leading the sixtinos Carlists since 2010.[9]
