Early life and career
Relatively little is known about González Rubín's life.
González Rubín's work Viaxe del tío Pacho el Sordo a Uviedo (Uncle Pacho the Deaf's Trip to Oviedo) was published in 1875; it is the earliest known published novel (and earliest known separately published narrative work) in Asturian.[1][2][3]
Many of González Rubín's works were published in the newspaper El Faro Asturiano.
Personal life and death
When González Rubín was 22, she had a son out of wedlock; he died at three months old.[1] She married Juan Echevarría Barrera, also from Ribadesella, five years later.[1] They had eight children together.[1]
González Rubín died on 9 November 1877 in Infiesto, Piloña, Asturias.[1]
Legacy
In 2003, the Asturian Ministry of Culture established the Enriqueta González Rubín Prize (Premiu Enriqueta González Rubín) in her honour, which recognizes excellence in Asturian-language journalism.[1]
A street in Ribadesella is named after González Rubín.[2]
