Not definitions of a linguistic character, but definitions of a human character, with its roots found in man, and it spread to collectivities in a social dynamic that governs the fate of the people for good or bad. This is the age of the definition of man. Either we demand the unconditional recognition of our independence, or we become traitors to freedom by accepting any other solution to our problem that is offered]. There are, as mentioned, some parallels that can be drawn between the two historical moments — the economic and migration crises, for example.
However, Burgos lived at a moment when she believed that there were options, that there was a choice to be made. In many ways Burgos was a woman ahead of her time, but in other ways she was very much a woman of her moment. She believed in revolution, in self-determination, in independence. The turn to Burgos at this present moment is not necessarily to advocate for the independence of Puerto Rico.
With each passing year the statehood movement grows on the island. Burgos, Julia de, Cartas a Consuelo, ed. Niebylski, Dianna C.

By , she had already become a member of the Puerto Rican Nationalist Party Partido Nacionalista de Puerto Rico , which later took her to be elected as the Secretary of the Daughters of Freedom, a chapter dedicated to Puerto Rican Nationalist women.
Being the strong woman that she prided herself on being, she refused to mourn her divorce for long. While in Cuba, de Burgos enrolled for postgraduate studies in the University of Cuba.
She worked as a journalist for a progressive newspaper, Pueblos Hispanos, during her time in New York. They allowed their love to dissipate and both went their separate ways. Julia de Burgos went back to New York after this heartbreak. She ended up working random jobs in order to make a living for herself.
Though their love ended, de Burgos later immortalized their romance through her poetry. Even through this time of pain, de Burgos continued writing. She never left her talent or passion for writing on the back burner. Her writing kept Julia de Burgos going, but she was also a hopeless romantic, so she never experienced much absence of love.
This seemed important to de Burgos. Perhaps this is why she was quick to find a new romance while living in New York. She had the good fortune of stumbling on a fellow Puerto Rican man in New York, more specifically from Vieques, Puerto Rico, and she fell for him as well.
He was a musician named Armando Marin. Their marriage also ended in a divorce. Perhaps being the oldest child is the source of her independent nature.
The writer graduated from University of Puerto Rico and became a teacher. She stopped teaching after marrying at age twenty. Her first husband was a Puerto Rican nationalist, but it is perhaps an overemphasized association. Creatives must create, no matter what. The island of Puerto Rico and the Spanish language are both overflowing with a natural poetry. This and the search for identity may explain Puerto Rican dominance of salsa, reggaeton and Latin trap in popular culture.
Though she married many times, De Burgos was probably not the type of woman to surrender.
