Elena Poniatowska tried to help marginalized and oppressed groups in Mexican society through her writing. She often wrote about the struggles and injustices faced by these groups, shedding light on their experiences and advocating for their rights. For example, Poniatowska's famous work "La noche de Tlatelolco" is a powerful account of the 1968 Tlatelolco massacre in Mexico City, in which she gives a voice to the student protesters and victims who were silenced and ignored by the government. Through her writing, Poniatowska aims to bring attention to social issues and spark conversation and change in Mexican society.
