Mariana Cox Méndez (also, Mariana Cox-Stuven; pseudonyms, Shade and Oliver Brand;[1] Punta Arenas, 1871 - Paris, September 8, 1914) was a Chilean writer, feminist, essayist and novelist. In addition to novels and short stories, she wrote pieces in the newspaper El Mercurio, La Union, and La Nación. She was condemned and criticized by Chilean society because she wrote for the media. Her work can be framed within the so-called feminismo aristocrático, which includes her contemporaries such as Inés Echeverría Bello, María Mercedes Vial, Teresa Wilms Montt, María Luisa Fernández de García Huidobro, and Ximena Morla Lynch. Her second marriage was to Juan Stuven González. She had a son, Ivan.[2]
