Iginia Bartolomé de Álamo (1893-1991): La forja de una escritora-viajera venezolana

Abstract

There are many voices of Venezuelan writers who rest silently in catalogs, archives and libraries of the country; in collections where they do not acquire the necessary relevance. Our task today is to attend to their voices. One of these cases is the Venezuelan writer Iginia Bartolome de Alamo (1893-1991), whose figure represents a particular form of protagonism and written testimony, which must be known and examined. In this article we undertake the task of talking about the life and work of Iginia as author, woman, traveler and writer; what in a meeting with his past, his training and his intellectual exercise.
