Bonus Episode | Excerpt from "Paz Marquez Benitez and Dead Stars"

PATREON EXCLUSIVE. This bonus episode is supplementary to the Episode 16, Filipino Girlhood in American Colonial Manila, 1908-1939, with Tala Wong. Best if you listen to that first (if you haven't).

Paz Marquez Benitez, born in 1894, was known for her athletic prowess, captaining Manila’s first girls’ basketball team, and playing tennis in European dress. In 1925, she published Dead Stars in the Philippine Herald, widely acknowledged to be the first modern English short story written by a Filipino, giving rise to a new generation of writers and writing that we still enjoy today.

The cover photo is the one accompanying an article entitled, “The Real Paz Marquez Benitez,” from the Philippine Free Press, Oct. 4, 1933.
