Synopsis "Mercedes Pinto: La Escritora Que Abrió Ventanas de Colores"
Mercedes Pinto fue, ante todo, una mujer valiente y luchadora. Escritora, dramaturga, periodista y oradora nacida en La Laguna (Tenerife), destacó desde muy temprano en el ambiente cultural de las islas, donde sus versos le valieron el sobrenombre de >. Por desgracia, sus ideas en favor de los derechos de la mujer y sus acciones políticas la obligaron a emigrar a Sudamérica. Sin embargo, ella aprovechó su exilio para seguir ejerciendo de embajadora de la cultura canaria y luchando por la igualdad de género en el continente americano. Su vida y su obra invitan a abrir, contra viento y marea, una ventana para contemplar los colores que nos esperan al otro lado. Mercedes Pinto was a brave woman. Writer, playwright, journalist, and speaker, she stood out from the cultural environment of the islands, where her verses earned her the nickname of "La poetess Canaria". Unfortunately, her ideas in favor of women's rights and her political actions forced her to emigrate to South America. However, she took advantage of her exile to continue acting as an ambassador of Canarian culture and fighting for gender equality in the American continent. Her life and her work invite us to open a window to contemplate the colors that await us on the other side.
