Jenny Estrada: Guayaquil historian dies
From her beginnings as a journalist, she was interested in the socio-economic problems of the people and kept it in her historical research, her true vocation, developed with talent, discipline and passion in the search for testimonies and in the creation of her 36 books. Works that capture the great struggles of the women of Guayaquil and Ecuador that make the country proud today.

In addition, he left the city and the country the Julio Jaramillo Popular Music Museum, which presents 100 years of our musical history; it also became a place of entertaining gatherings with bands, instruments, replicas of moments of musical life and, of course, its patron, Julio Jaramillo. In this museum, Jeanine Estrada realized another of her dreams: the Nicasio Safadi Music Hall School, dedicated to the training of young writers and performers of Ecuadorian music, a symbol of Ecuadorian identity, just like the Hall. The legacy of this outstanding historian is so important that we, the inhabitants of Guayaquil, wish, as a token of gratitude for her memory, to place her bust at the foot of the museum or somewhere else, as an example for new generations to express their love for her city, country and culture.
