Rosario Castellanos (born May 25, 1925, Mexico City, Mexico—died August 7, 1974, Tel Aviv, Israel) was a novelist, short-story writer, poet, essayist, and diplomat who was probably the most important Mexican woman writer of the 20th century, one of Mexico's most important literary voices in the 20th century.  She was a prominent Mexican writer and feminist, known for her significant contributions to literature and her advocacy for women's rights. Her notable poetry collections includes Poesía no eres tú (“Poetry Is Not You”), and The Selected Poems.
