María Luisa Fernández Bascuñán (1870–1938), also known as María Luisa Fernández de García Huidobro and by the literary pseudonym Monna Lissa, was a Chilean feminist writer, editor, and poet.[2] She was the mother of poet Vicente Huidobro (1893–1948).[3]
Career
[edit]María Luisa Fernández wrote novels and religious poetry,[4] as well as editing feminist magazines, such as that of the Chilean Women's Patriotic Union – a group she organized[5] – and Aliada (1922).[6]
Part of her literary output is known to be unpublished or scattered in newspapers and magazines – as is also the case with other feminist writers such as Luisa Lynch, Sara Hübner de Fresno, and the sisters Ximena and Carmen Morla Lynch.[2] Her literary work is considered to be part of the early 20th century avant-garde that sought to massify feminist thinking and fight for women's rights.
For some authors, her work can be framed within so-called "aristocratic feminism", along with other writers such as Inés Echeverría Bello, María Mercedes Vial, Teresa Wilms Montt, the sisters Morla Lynch, and Mariana Cox Méndez.[7][8]
