This article addresses the construction of the intellectual career of Amparo Casamalhuapa (1930-1971) during the decade of 1930 as a woman in dispute against the social structure of El Salvador. Her relationships with two crucial figures: her mother and the intellectual Alberto Masferrer, who was a teacher and founder of Vitalism, established a relationship between the private space and the intellectual field. Casamalhuapa is inserted into the intellectual networks of her country thanks to the figure of her mentor. Her truly structural counterpoint is active after her mentor’s death in 1932, when she must open her path in the intellectual field by her own. Her sharpness is notorious and the decision to transgress the public space dedicated to civic issues takes her to a messianic and disruptive stance toward the national discourse the government of General Maximiliano Hernandez Martinez. This political denunciation will take her to the exile in 1939.
