Isabel à ngela Prieto González Bango (1 March 1833 â€" 28 September
1876), better known as Isabel Prieto de Landázuri, was a Spanish poet
and dramatist, considered "one of the first women to enter the
literary canon of Mexico in the 19th century," since this country was
where she created most of her literary legacy.[1]There are
disagreements regarding the birthplace of Isabel Prieto de Landázari;
although most consider that she was born in Alcázar de San Juan,
Ciudad Real, Spain, in 1833, some writers like the Spanish Julio
Cejador y Frauca [es] determined that she was actually born in Mexico
City. There are yet other sources that say that she was born in 1828
in Spanish territory.[2] She was the daughter of the Panamanian Sotero
Prieto Olasagarre (at that time, Panama was under Spanish rule) and
the Spaniard Isabel González Bango de la Puebla, the oldest of their
eleven children.At age four, Prieto's family moved to Mexico, where
she devoted herself to study. There she learned several languages that
allowed her to perform as a translator of notable literary works.[2]
Later, she traveled to Guadalajara, Jalisco, where she composed most
of her own works.[3] It is known that she collaborated with the
Mexico-based French writer Alfredo Bablot [es] on the newspaper El
Federalista.[4] In 1864, before the French Intervention in Mexico, she
moved to San Francisco, California.[5] A year later, in 1865, she
returned to Mexico and married her cousin Pedro Landázuri Diez,[1] a
notable politician of that era, and moved to the Tacubaya neighborhood
in Mexico City.
