Celia institutriz en América, first published in 1944, is one of the most important titles in the Celia and her world collection. In this installment, Celia, now a young adult exiled in Argentina, testifies to the disappearance of the voice of the generation of active writers before the Spanish Civil War and protagonists of Republican feminism. The Yunga and Beba sisters and little Walter will now receive the stories, songs and lessons of a Celia governess in the institutionalist line so fervently defended by Elena Fortún. Temporarily free from family ties, Celia offers an objective view of an environment that is often hostile. Before returning home and to the family environment, epiphanies about love, women, independence and writing will nest in her heart.
