At the age of 23, Espinel became the first female member of The Ecuadorian Culture House. She was the editor of the Ecuadorian publications El Universo, El Telégrafo and La Nación, as well as the Mexican magazine Nivel and Venezuelan magazine Poesía. Espinel's favorite book of her own poetry was Piezas Líricas (1957). It had an initial printing of 1,500 booklets. It was the first book for which she earned money.

1953

In 1953 she found in her home an old, tearing booklet of the celebrated poem “Como el Incensio” (Like Incense) by Aurora Estrada y Ayala, with a dedication made to her mother. She asked her mother about the author, and her mother immediately made a phone call to set up a meeting between them. The next day, Espinel went to visit Estrada y Ayala in the small garden of her house, with a notebook of her poems. Estrada y Ayala was very impressed by Espinel's poetry, and soon after, she published an article in the newspaper El Universo commenting on her poems “Tú sabes” (You Know) and “Te Quiero” (I Love You), which had been her favorite from among Espinel's first poems.

The club would recite their poems over radio stations, such as El El Telégrafo, and had some of their poems published in El Universo. In 1954, a 96-page collection of the group's poetry was published in a book titled "Club Siete". The book is very hard to find as only 500 copies were made. In 1951, Espinel and David Ledesma each recited a poem in El Telégrafo condemning the execution of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg who were United States citizens convicted of conspiracy to commit espionage during a time of war.
