CARMELA NIETO DE HERRERA 



Writer; journalist. 



Senora Carmela Nieto de Herrera 

 was born in Havana on the sixth of March, 

 1879, but received most of her education 

 abroad; first in the United States and later 

 in Madrid (Spain) where her father, Don 

 Mariano Nieto Mujica, held the rank of 

 Brigadier General in the Spanish Army. 

 There she completed the courses leading to 

 the degree of Bachelor, gaining also various 

 prizes for distinction. 



In 1904 she began to write in El Figaro of 

 Havana and soon afterwards was placed in 

 charge of the Home Department of El 

 Mundo. Later she founded and conducted 

 in the same paper a section devoted to 

 "Questions moral and general" in which 

 she dealt with matters of belief, affection, 

 and good counsel.
