Isabel del Río "La Duda"

Question

Does anybody know what nationality this author is? I found on google a reference to her which said she belongs to a group of post-franco feminist writers, so I'm assuming she's Spanish or at least a resident in Spain.

I'd like to know a bit more about her. Thanks

Answer 1

I found this:

Don't know if that is helpful, or something you have already found.

Excellent, that's very useful, thanks very much! - lagartijaverde, Nov 5, 2010

By the way, how did you find that? You must be a better searcher than me! :-) - lagartijaverde, Nov 5, 2010

I simply searched "Isabel del Rio Duda" and looked at the most likely looking entry (I am fairly good at guessing from the site name and the brief sentence provided) - Stadt, Nov 5, 2010

Answer 2

I found this short biography of her on her website. It looks like she's from Spain. She got a degree in Valladolid, but it doesn't say where she was born.

Answer 3

Thanks guys. That's the trouble there are many Isabel del Ríos and most of them are writers. Stadt seems to have got it right. Very helpful thanks.

Thanks MacFadden but that one is one of many who didn't write "La Duda" I do appreciate your effort though

Oh, sorry. It didn't occur to me that there would be more than one modern Spanish writer with that name, but I suppose it's common enough. That would explain the discrepancy in her alma mater! - MacFadden, Nov 5, 2010

No problem, I really appreciate the effort, thanks :-) - lagartijaverde, Nov 5, 2010
