Gabriela Mistral, winner of the 1945 Nobel Prize for Literature, has
become the first famous woman to adorn a peso note in her native Chile. The
South American country this week introduced a new 5000-peso note featuring a
portrait of the poet, who died in 1957 in Hempstead, N.Y. The note is worth
about $128 and is the highest denomination available in Chile.
