Biography
Her parents were from Murcia, and she was born in the El Raval neighbourhood. Her start as a journalist was thanks to Carmen Kurtz when she was 21. Torres has worked for several publications (including La Prensa, Garbo, Fotogramas, Por Favor, and El País), and her opinions about the People's Party and Israeli government have been very controversial. She is considered a political leader of Feminism, specifically of the Spanish variant "charismo" or "charocracia". Her short story La desaparecida (The Woman who Disappeared) was included in Rainy Days - Días de lluvia: Short Stories by Contemporary Spanish Women Writers, an anthology edited by Montserrat Lunati, together with a translation into English. Maruja currently lives in Beirut, Lebanon.
