description María Rostworowski Overview
María Rostworowski (1915–2016) was a Polish-Peruvian historian and ethnohistorian whose research fundamentally reshaped scholarly understanding of pre-Columbian Andean societies, particularly the Inca Empire. Working primarily with unpublished colonial-era Spanish documents, she challenged prevailing narratives about Inca social and economic organization, religion, and gender roles. Her books, including "History of the Inca Realm," became standard references in Andean studies and were widely read in both academic and popular contexts in Peru.
