Born into a privileged, yet circumscribed world in 1914 as the daughter of a wealthy Chilean diplomat, she became a translator and journalist at a time when few women of her class held jobs. Ordered into exile in the United States by her disapproving mother, she became a successful reporter, translator, and editor, while raising two daughters as a single working mother.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this beautifully written memoir, de Tagle looks back over a fascinating, cosmopolitan life. She describes how her upbringing in various European capitals prepared her for a life of continual change. She remembers the restrictions that upper class Chilean society placed on women and how these ultimately propelled her to a career in the United States that included an editorship at \u003ci\u003eAméricas\u003c\/i\u003e magazine and work for the State Department, as well as a series of posts with the USIA\/Voice of America.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWoven throughout her memoir are vivid glimpses of family, friends, husbands, and lovers, including the artist Roberto Matta. This spicy blend of personalities, work, and culture tells a quintessential coming-of-age story of a thoroughly modern woman.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lillian Lorca de Tagle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0292716095\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780292716094\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Texas Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 231\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.84lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.05h x 6.13w x 0.68d","brand":"Lillian Lorca de Tagle","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48013717045503,"sku":"9780292716094","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f3b6c59e-7677-41d0-b02f-2d4f39c50f80.jpg?v=1767744328","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/honorable-exiles-lillian-lorca-de-tagle-9780292716094","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
