Clementina Trujillo was the only woman among the great Colombian merchants of the early 20th century. At a time when women's roles were confined to the home, she broke all the rules: she was a businesswoman who built her own fortune; she never married or had children; and she proved that success could depend on intelligence, determination and independence.
Based on real events, this work of historical fiction invites readers to discover the story of this visionary woman who challenged the social norms of her time. It is an ideal read for Level 4 Spanish students, as it is carefully written with 451 word families, 131 of which are cognates, to facilitate comprehension and language learning.
This inspiring story is also an educational tool, combining accessible language, cultural context and historical richness to make learning Spanish a meaningful and motivating experience.
