Carolina Coronado dating history

Details

Victoria Carolina Coronado y Romero de Tejada (December 12, 1820 – January 15, 1911) was a Spanish author considered the equivalent of contemporary Romantic authors like Rosalía de Castro. She married Horatio Perry the American who was Secretary of the U.S. Legation in Madrid. As one of the most well-known poets writing in mid-19th-century Spain, she played a diplomatic role. She both negotiated with the Spanish royal family in private and, through a series of widely published poems, promoted the aims of the Lincoln administration, especially abolition of slavery. At a time when women were not invited to public political conversations, Coronado succeeded in persuasively arguing against Spain's imperial legacy and urging support to rectify her nation's past colonial blunders, especially the introduction of slavery to the Americas.
