In the opinion of writer Virginia Vidal, she

is considered one of the precursors that anticipated in critical attitude, disposition to denounce, expression of rebellion, protest of everything that subjugates the woman by her condition as such. Much later, a large number of writers, mostly within the space of the workshops of the eighties, were developing a statement of repudiation of the state of things, inertia, and so-called established "values".[3]

She was a participant in the series of conferences organized by the Friends of the Book Association in 1977 at the Benjamín Vicuña Mackenna National Museum [es] called "Who's Who in Chilean Literature? [es]".
