Editing Gabriela Mistral (section)

==Characteristics of her work==

Mistral's work incorporates gray tones and conveys recurring feelings of sadness and bitterness, reflecting her difficult childhood marked by deprivation and a lack of affection at home. Despite this, her writings also reveal her deep affection for children, which she developed during her early years as a teacher in a rural school. Catholicism, a significant influence in Mistral's life, is also evident in her literature; however, she maintains a neutral stance toward religion. Her writing skillfully combines religious themes with emotions of love and piety, solidifying her position as one of the most esteemed representatives of Latin American literature in the 20th century.<ref>{{cite journal|author=Dinamarca, Salvador |year=2018|title= Gabriela Mistral y su Obra Poética |jstor=334596|volume= 41|issue=1|pages=48–50|journal=Hispania|doi=10.2307/334596 }}</ref>
