Biography

The daughter of writer Шаблон:Ill and the Argentine Zulema Piñero, Graciela Romero was educated at the Colegio Universitario Inglés of Santiago. She was the niece of distinguished journalist María Romero.[1]

At age 21, she married the Spanish citizen Andrés Rosselló, who was 16 years her senior. They separated because he wanted her to stop working, for which she took the car and the driver. "If you want to work, take a micro," he told her. She did not go in a microbus, but in a taxi.[1] The couple had one child, Alfonso Roselló.[2]

Despite being a social worker by profession, she was known nationally for her joint writing with journalist Ximena Torres Cautivo.[3] She worked in various media, most memorably for the magazine Шаблон:Ill.[4] She also covered news of the international jet set for Vanidades.[5]

Romero was an outspoken liberal and feminist, and at one point lost her job at Salvador Hospital for advocating the use of oral contraceptives.[5]

Her health began to decline in 2009 after being treated for lung cancer,[5] and she was required to use an oxygen tank. She died on 4 November 2011.[3]
