Tragic Creation of Hildegart

Aurora Rodríguez Carballeira, a self-taught Spanish woman with no formal education, sought to create an ideal human being through her daughter, Hildegart, who was born in 1914. By age 2, Hildegart was reading, and by 8, she spoke four languages. She entered law school at 13 and became a professor at 18. However, when Hildegart attempted to run away at 19, her mother tragically killed her.
