María Zambrano
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
María Zambrano Alarcón (April 22, 1904, Vélez-Málaga – February 6, 1991, Madrid) was a Spanish essayist and philosopher.
Zambrano studied under and was influenced by José Ortega y Gasset. Her involvement in the Spanish civil war caused her exile when Franco came to power.
María querida (Dearest Maria), a 2004 film directed by José Luis García Sánchez in 2004, is about her life.
In December 2007, when the high speed railway line linking Málaga to Madrid was opened, the railway company RENFE took the opportunity to rename Málaga Railway Station "María Zambrano."
