Emma Dolujanoff (8 December 1922 – 23 April 2013) is a Mexican writer.

Life[]

Dolujanoff was born in Mexico City in 1922 to parents of Russian lineage.[1] She trained as a medical doctor and obtained her degree in 1945 at the National Autonomous University of Mexico. Because she had a knowledge of psychiatry this is reflected in her writing. In 1957 and 1958 she was awarded a scholarship to study writing. Her characters frequently explore their mental problems.[2]
