Abstract

This article presents a biographical narrative of the period in which Elena Arizmendi lived in New York City, after rushing out of revolutionary Mexico. Depicted as Adriana in José Vasconcelos´ Ulises criollo and La tormenta, a literary character that conforms to the sterotype of the femme fatale in Latin-American modernism, Elena Arizmendi developed a much richer life. She was the main force behind the League of Iberian and Hispano-American Women and the editor of Feminismo internacional and the author of Vida incompleta. Apuntes sobre mujeres de la vida real.
