Margarita Urueta (Mexico City, 13 November 1918 - Cuernavaca, 2004) was a Mexican writer. She wrote plays, novels and essays, both for the general public and for children. Her style ranges from realism to avant-garde and absurdist.[1]
Margarita Urueta began writing at the age of seven. As a young girl, she made a trip to Europe, where she studied and became acquainted with the new trends in theatre and which would later influence her own works.[2]
She was primarily noted as dramaturge. She held the position of president of the Teatro de México and was the owner of the Jesús Urueta Theatre in Mexico City.[3]
She was the daughter of the Mexican revolutionary Jesús Urueta and author of his biography, entitled Jesús Urueta. Historia de un gran desamor and published in 1964.[3]
