Bio
Margaret Hebblethwaite graduated in Theology and Philosophy from the University of Oxford, and began her writing career as the author of ten religious books in the areas of feminist theology, spirituality and Latin American liberation theology. She worked as assistant editor on the international Catholic weekly The Tablet from 1991 to 2000, before giving up her job to pursue her interest in Latin American liberation theology by moving to a poor campesino community in Misiones, Paraguay. Here she has set up a local hotel (now run by the local community), founded a charity called the Santa Maria Education Fund, worked with a local sewing co-operative, taught English and written Bradt’s Paraguay travel guide, which has run to four editions.
