Timeline
In 2008, President Rafael Correa honored her with the Rosa Campuzano National Prize. She was among the first to receive the newly created award, which recognizes the work of noteworthy Ecuadorian women.
In 1984 she published her second novel, Las alcobas negras, which she dedicated to all Ecuadorian women who are still waiting to be treated as they should. Three years later she produced the Basic Anthology of Ecuadorian Stories.
She founded the Manuela Sáenz Cultural Foundation in 1983. Through her work with the foundation, Viteri became one of the most important defenders of women's rights in Ecuador. She has been described as "a pioneer in introducing feminist themes to Ecuadorian fiction, such as domestic violence, prostitution, and romantic-sexual intimacy between women."
Due to antiquated and sexist laws, when Viteri sought to buy an apartment with her own savings in 1976, she was denied a loan because her husband already owned property. Consequently, the couple divorced, she purchased the apartment, and they immediately remarried.
Viteri was hired to supervise competitions and run the student newspaper at a grade school, the Colegio Nacional Veinticuatro de Mayo, in 1969. In 1975, she took over the school's literature department.
After the military regime fell in 1966, the new president Clemente Yerovi invited the couple to return to their homeland.
Viteri openly sympathized with Marxist ideas, so when the military dictatorship took control in 1963, she was forced to self-exile with her daughter in Chile, bringing only the money she could scrounge up through selling her furniture. There, she married Pedro Jorge Vera, an influential Ecuadorian communist and a close friend of Fidel Castro, in 1964. The couple moved to Cuba on Castro's invitation in 1965.
In 1962, she won fourth's prize in a theater competition organized by the National Union of Journalists with her play "El Mar trajo la flor," based on her prior story "El anillo." She was also designated a member of the Casa de la Cultura that year.
By 1955, Viteri had moved to Quito and found a job as a radio operator. It was there that she gave birth to her only daughter, Silvia Alexandra Vera, in 1957. Three years later, she returned to Guayaquil to work for the transit commission.
In 1954, Vieteri sent her story "El Heredero" to a competition of the Club Femenino de Cultura, and she obtained second prize. That same year, she participated in the Jurisprudence Department's Festival of Letters with two stories titled "El anillo" and "El Chiquillo," which were subsequently included in the 1955 anthology Diez cuentos universitarios.
In 1950, she enrolled in the theater school at the Casa de la Cultura's Guayas location. Three years later, after graduating with a bachelor's degree in modern humanities, she joined the Department of Philosophy and Letters and the University of Guayaquil.
