Elena Quiroga de Abarca (Santander, October 26, 1921 – Corunna, October 3, 1995) was a Spanish writer.[1][2]
Elena Quiroga was renowned for her narrative prose work. She was considered one of the most prominent women of her time, mostly because she was preoccupied by injustice, and explored the themes of childhood and adolescence. She was the second woman to enter the Real Academia Española (Royal Academy of the Spanish Language) from 1944 to 1983.[3]
