Inés Echeverría

Inés Echeverría de Larraín (1868–1949) was a Chilean writer who used the pseudonyms Iris, Ines Bello, and Rainbow.

Echeverría was born into an old and respected Chilean family. Among her first publications was the Perfiles Vagos, a record of her extensive travels through Europe, and her Tierra Virgen, a study of Southern Chile. Her next writings, a series of articles, were contributed to the leading Chilean magazines, and in 1914 she published in Paris, a novel Entre Deux Mondes, which received favorable recognition, and which was followed in 1917 by La Hora de Queda, whose theme was based on the life of the South American resident in the French capital. Subsequently, in 1918, she contributed articles to "La Nacion", and in the same year, she cooperated actively in the foundation of the Ladies Club. Besides the works mentioned and her writings in "El Mercuio", "Familia", "Zig-Zag", and "Sucesos", there appeared Emociones Teatrales, a collection of theatrical criticisms.^[1]
