Irene Aloha Wright
Irene Wright was born on December 19, 1879, in Lake City, Colorado, to parents Henri Edward Wright and Letitia O. Wright. When she was sixteen, she left Lake City, and traveled to Mexico with $300. She studied Spanish and history while working as an English teacher for a wealthy Mexican family. In 1898, she graduated from the Virginia college for young ladies in Roanoke, Virginia, and from Stanford University six years later. From 1904-1905, she was a writer for the "Havana Post" in Havana, Cuba. The same year that she left the Post, she became a city editor of the Havana Telegraph, a post she would hold for three years. The next year, she purchased the "Cuban Magazine", which she would own until 1914.
