María Ruiz de Burton
María Amparo Ruiz de Burton (July 3, 1832 – August 12, 1895) was the first female Mexican-American writer to be published in English. During her career, she published two books: ''Who Would Have Thought It?'' (1872) and ''The Squatter and the Don'' (1885); and one play: ''Don Quixote de la Mancha: A Comedy in Five Acts: Taken From Cervantes' Novel of That Name'' (1876).Ruiz de Burton's work is considered to be one of the first instances of Mexican-American literature, and gives the perspective of the conquered Mexican population that, despite being granted full rights of citizenship by the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, was a marginalized national minority. Her background provided her a critical distance from the New England Protestant culture into which she was brought by her marriage to her husband, a powerful and influential Protestant Union Army General, Henry S. Burton. Her life took her from coast to coast in the United States, which provided her with opportunity for first-hand observation of the U.S., its westward expansion, the American Civil War, and its aftermath. This vantage point and her status as a woman provided her with both an insider's and outsider's perspective on issues of ethnicity, power, gender, class, and race. Provided by Wikipedia
