Marcela Serrano

Marcela Serrano (born 1951) is an award-winning Chilean novelist. In 1994, her first novel, Nosotras que nos queremos tanto, won the Literary Prize in Santiago, and her second book, Para que no me olvides, won the Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz Prize for women writers in Spanish. She received the runner-up award in the renowned Premio Planeta competition in 2001 for her novel Lo que está en mi corazón.

Carlos Fuentes has quoted her description of the modern woman as "having the capacity to change skin like a snake, freeing herself from the inevitability and servitude of more obsolete times".[1]
