Maria Theresa H. de Holcomb, Ph.D., uses her own research and background to write about the Latin American experience in plays and prose.
De Holcomb was born in Mexico and has received advanced degrees from universities in both the United States and Mexico. She spent twenty-six years of her career in academia teaching college-level Spanish and Spanish literature.
A course on immigration at Yale University opened de Holcomb's eyes to the problems faced by many immigrant women. She has since dedicated her time to helping women, particularly immigrants, achieve the lives they dream of. This work led to her first collection of short plays, which took the trials-and the strength-of these women as its theme.
