description Abstract: Between 1925 and 1928, the Chilean poet, teacher, and intellectual Gabriela Mistral (1889- 1957) published three essays on feminism and the women’s movement in the Chilean newspaper El Mercurio. These are part of the vast prose writing that Mistral published throughout her career, much of which has not been translated to English. The translations of these three pieces aim to make the views of Mistral on feminism, labor, class, and political rights available to English-speaking audiences, while incorporating her voice in these broader debates from a transnational perspective. None of these essays have been translated to English before. Resumen: Entre los años 1925 y 1928, la poeta, profesora e intelectual chilena Gabriela Mistral (1889- 1957) publicó tres ensayos sobre el feminismo y el movimiento de mujeres en el diario chileno El Mercurio. Estos textos son parte de la vasta escritura en prosa que Mistral publicó a lo largo de su carrera, la mayoría de la cual no ha sido traducida al inglés. La traducción de estos tres textos busca hacer disponibles las visiones de Mistral sobre el feminismo, el trabajo, la clase y los derechos políticos a las audiencias angloparlantes, incluyendo esta su voz en dichos debates desde una perspectiva transnacional. Hasta la fecha, ninguno de estos ensayos ha sido traducido al inglés.
