[14]
Early Life
Elena Castedo was born during the Spanish Civil War. In 1939, after a military coup took over the government she fled with her parents to France, where they were interned in concentration/refugee camps. [15] As the Nazis expanded their power, the three fled on a refugee ship and were allowed to disembark in Chile, where she grew up. [16]
From age 5 to 9 she lived in a ranch (the source for her novel Paradise), where she didn't attend school. Later she did, in Santiago. At age 14, with her little sister, performed dances in theaters before the movies. She was the editor of her high school paper and the first female to run for student-body president. She lost. From age 17 she toured the American Continent for a year and a half, from Chile to Canada, as assistant to three research scholars that included her father. [17]
Work
She has been a visiting writer, teacher and has conducted literary workshops and has given readings, lectures and keynote speeches at 54 American colleges and universities: [18] Professorial Lecturer, American University, Washington D.C. (1976-1977); [19] Teaching Fellow, Harvard University (1969-1970); [20] Stanford College (a grammar school) and Instituto Nascimiento (a high school), both in Santiago, Chile, (1966 and 1967); [21] Conte Grammar School, New Haven CT (1966). [22]
From 1980 to 1984 Castedo was President of CEAL, a consulting firm on Hemispheric cultural affairs. Her main client was Georgetown University. [23] From 1976 to 1980 she was the editor-in-chief of The Inter-American Review of Bibliography, the four language scholarly journal in the humanities with circulation in 36 countries . [24] During 1965-66 she was a Neighborhood Visitor for Community Progress Inc. in New Haven CT. [25]
When her children were small she got jobs that permitted her to take them with her: demonstrator of electrical appliances at shopping malls; runway fashion model; face plaster-mask model for store mannequins; [26] private tutor and nursery school attendant, all in Sacramento, California; children's dance teacher in New Haven, CT, (1965) and Los Angeles, CA, (1967-69) [27] and door-to-door wall-cleaner saleswoman in New Haven, CT (1965-66). Before marriage she was a top fashion model in Chile, 1956-1958. [28]

Personal Life
In 1958 Castedo won a summer scholarship to travel to the U.S. "After a tragic marriage in the United States, Castedo was widowed with two children and no means of support. During the difficult years that followed, she and the children lived in rented rooms or in condemned houses... Castedo had no professional qualifications or college degree, and the jobs she held were barely enough to support the family." [24] She eventually received scholarships that permitted her to earn a college degree, with honors, then graduate degrees. She had art exhibits in Chile, and from 1969 to 1973 was a member of the Cambridge Art Association of Cambridge Massachusetts. [103]
In 1972 she moved to Aix-en-Provence, France, where she remarried, and then to Paris, where her third child was born. In 1975 the family moved to South Vietnam. After "the fall of Saigon" she moved with her children briefly to Hong-Kong and Taiwan, and traveled with them to Japan before the family moved to Virginia. [104]
Later Years
She and her husband led a nomad's life, back and forth between Europe and the US , for months at a time, that included the UK; Paris, France; Florence, Italy; Boston, MA and Key West, FL. She also cared for her mother in Madrid until her death in 2015.
By 2019 she had 26 descendants, between children, grandchildren, their spouses and great-grandchildren.
