MARÍA ZAMBRANO

                     MARÍA ZAMBRANO

Highly respected by her peers, she maintained contact with Italian intellectuals as well as her compatriots Rafael Alberti and Jorge Guillén.
A slow process of recognition of her work commenced in Spain in 1966 with the publication of J.L. Arangren's article "Los sueños de María Zambrano" (María Zambrano's Dreams) in the important cultural and scientific Revista de Occidente, founded by Ortega y Gasset, a review to which leading contemporary philosophers such as Bertrand Russell and Edmund Husserl contributed.
In 1981 she was awarded the Prince of Asturias Award for Communications and Humanities in its first edition, and in 1983 Malaga University named her Doctor Doctor honois causa.
María querida (Dearest Maria), a film directed by José Luis García Sánchez  in 2004, is about her life.
