Nicholasa Mohr (born November 1, 1938) is one of the best known Nuyorican writers, born in the United States to Puerto Rican parents.
In 1973, she became the first Latina woman in the 20th century to have her literary works published by the major commercial publishing houses, and has had the longest creative writing career of any Latin female writer for these publishing houses.
Her works tell of growing up in the Puerto Rican communities of the Bronx and El Barrio and of the difficulties Puerto Rican women face in the United States. Mohr has written books for all audiences, though primarily for young adults.
She has also written screenplays, plays, and scripts for television.
