Gabriela Mistral: Teacher, poet, and diplomat.

by Denis O'leary, Denis O'leary (Illustrator)

Overview

Gabriela Mistral may very well be one of the most influential teachers of the past century. Not only was Ms. Mistral known as an effective educator, but she also took her message of empowerment well outside her classroom. From education reform in Mexico to being the first Latina American to receive a Noble Prize in literature, Gabriela Mistral continued to found UNICEF and much more.

Empowering girls in education and the right of the poor to receive a proper education, Gabriela Mistral carried her strong message long before the world was ready to recognize these rights. From simple means, Gabriela Mistral became a world leader for the rights of children and motherhood. She quietly changed the protections for children in her native Chile and world.
