Maria Cabezola Bosch -- a well-known Cuban journalist, educator, speaker, and writer who used the pseudonym Graciela de Armas -- died Saturday at Pan American Hospital. She was ninety-four.
Mrs. Bosch was born in Pinar del Rio, Cuba, in 1895. At sixteen, she began work as a teacher, but after fifteen years as an educator, she took up print and broadcast journalism.
For a quarter-century, she worked as the social writer for the newspaper El Mundo in Havana. Her responsibilities included editing the Sunday page, With Women, and daily writing for the section Among Us.
Mrs. Bosch also became deeply involved in Cuban radio, where for ten years she maintained a daily hour-long show called Femina.
Mrs. Bosch also conducted a weekly program about beauty for station CMQ and wrote two books, entitled Calendario del Buen Matrimonio and Navidad.
She married Antonio Bosch, a former mayor and Cuban legislator, and maintained, in addition to her professional and social roles, her involvement in community and arts activities. She was instrumental, in 1939, in instituting the tradition of Valentine's Day in Cuba.
In exile, Mrs. Bosch continued to be admired and revered in the Cuban community in the United States. In 1987, the Coalition of Hispanic-American women honored her work as a journalist and educator with a commemorative statue during International Women's Month.
There will be a viewing held today at Caballero Funeral Home, 1661 SW 37th Avenue.
Burial will be at 2:00 p.m. at Miami Memorial Park Cemetery, 6200 SW 77th Avenue.
Mrs. Bosch is survived by her daughter Ada Baradat; son Antonio Bosch, executive news editor of El Nuevo Herald; daughter-in-law Yolanda Morales de Bosch; eight grandchildren; and four great-grandchildren.
