The article was substantially expanded, on good sources. It is close to five times, and would be if the paragraph on works was in prose, but I find it better readable as a table, and am ready to approve. I think that work titles should be italic amd without a dot at the end. Thank you for the infobox ;) I miss her birth name in the body. The lead should contain only summary from sourced information in the body, feel free to repeat more there. (Would bring you closer to formally 5*, hint hint.) - Can you use {{lang}} for all foreign language terms? It helps readers who use screen readers. - I think it might be a catchier hook if it said that she refused the award. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:55, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
- Thank you for the review and comments. Expanded the lede, italicized works (and added ISBN for the ones I could find). Don't understand how to use {{lang}}. I see no foreign language words in the article other than names. I input "language=Spanish" into the reference strings on those references that were in Spanish. Please advise on my page, as I write a lot of Mexican articles. 12606 char now even without the works section. I toyed with whether I should say she refused. Thought it might make people read the article to find out. But if you think it is better:

Please check if words in English titles of works should be capital. What do you think of the hook the other way round: the subject, and active, first?
