Thank you! It's a learning curve. MLSiegel (talk) 21:46, 17 November 2021 (UTC)

Indeed it is. If I can help at all, let me know. SusunW (talk) 22:01, 17 November 2021 (UTC)

Hello, and ditto, from me. :) --Rosiestep (talk) 04:52, 18 November 2021 (UTC)

Guzmán

I saw that one of your students has been working on Clara González. So glad to see a Central American focus included. That brings me to one of my most frustrating subjects, Rosa Amelia Guzmán. I have returned to her over and over and make no headway. Snippets here and there but frustratingly little for someone who was so active in feminist circles and who persuaded the legislature to give women the vote and legal equality. The longest article we have on her says she was regularly featured in La Prensa Gráfica, but I have found no way to access that source. My suspicions are that she was born in 1900 as numerous sources intimate she was from San Miguel, but I have no proof of that. It may also be that she died in 1985 (see page 34), but the way it is written it is hard to tell who died. I have written directly to La Prensa and María Candelaria Navas a gender specialist at the University of El Salvador several times without any success. I'm not asking you to solve the mystery of her life, but if you run across information or have ideas about how we can obtain information, that'd be lovely.

Thanks for the comment. I do not see a reference to Guzman in "Feminism for the Americas" but you could contact the author, Katherine Marino, at UCLA and ask her if she has a lead. You can tell her I told you to get in touch! MLSiegel (talk) 20:21, 20 February 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for that. I'll do it. SusunW (talk) 21:11, 20 February 2022 (UTC)
