Smith Student Lives Life in Limbo
Originally from El Salvador, Diana Umana ’19 is one of 800,000 “Dreamers” in the U.S. who face an uncertain future. “Coming out as undocumented is a big decision to make,” she says. “You never know how people are going to react.

Did Madeleine L’Engle’s A Wrinkle in Time give you a role model for how strong and brave a young girl could be? Did it change your thoughts about literature or science fiction or how sophisticated a book for young readers could be? As part of a tribute to L’Engle (Madeleine Camp Franklin ’41), who would be 100 years old this year, the Smith Alumnae Quarterly will look at how her signature novel has influenced generations of readers, writers and teachers.
