6. The family, three children of the
marriage called: Enrique, María, Matilde
and their mother returned to Aragon.
While studying at the General and
Technical Institute of Zaragoza, María
gave private lessons in history,
mathematics and Latin to help the
family’s precarious financial situation.

7. When María finished high school in 1918, she
began studying philology and lexicography.
She also assisted in the completion of the
Aragones Dictionary between 1917 and 1921.
The experience she gained during this period
would have a defining influence on her
lexicographical work later on. In 1921 she
graduated with honors in History, the only
specialized subject that existed at that time at
the University of Zaragoza.
In 1922 she passed the necessary
examinations to become Archivist General of
Simancas and the Archivist of the Treasury in
Murcia. In the early 30s, María managed the
Instituto General y Técnico Library at the University of Valencia.
Cardenal Cisneros de
Madrid.

8. María’s library work during the Republican
period has been widely recognized. During
this period, she stood out for her work and for
the publication of library and archival science
reference books such as “Bibliotecas rurales y
redes de bibliotecas en España” (1935) (Rural
libraries and Spanish library systems) and
“Instrucciones para el servicio de pequeñas
bibliotecas” (1937) (Instructions on providing
the services of small libraries).
María was responsible for school libraries, a
subsection of a general council of archives,
libraries and artistic works of value created by
Antigua Universidad de Zaragoza the Republican Government in 1937.
(Actualmente Facultad de Medicina)

9. In this city (Murcia) met Fernando
María and her husband Fernando Ramón professor of physics and
and Ramón Ferrando in the Ferrando, whom she married in
wedding day -1925 Sagunto. on August 5, 1925.

10. María with her children (1944)
They had four children: Enrique, Fernando, Carmen and Pedro.

11. At the end of the Spanish Civil War María
was ostracized for her involvement with the
Republican Government. She had to return
to the Financial Archives of Valencia with a
significantly lower level in the hierarchy.
Her husband, a physicist, was also a victim
of the purge that came with the post-war
period. However, in 1946 he was appointed
as Head of the Department of Physics at the
University of Salamanca.
The couple moved to Madrid, where María
became a librarian in the “Escuela Técnica
Superior de Madrid”, where she would
provide her services until she retired.

12. In 1952 María’s son brought a book
home from Paris that immediately
caught her attention: the "Learner's
Dictionary of Current English" by AS
Hornby. María, who had already begun
to make a list of the words from the
"Diccionario de la Academia" that
weren’t – in her opinion – defined
accurately enough, decided to get to
work on creating a Spanish dictionary
similar to her son’s English one.
The project took María fifteen years to
complete, 13 years longer than she had
originally anticipated. With the
sponsorship of academic Dámaso
Alonso, María was able to sign a
contract with the publisher “Gredos” in
1955 for the publication of her dictionary
when it was finished.

14. María’s dictionary is not just a dictionary
of definitions; it also enters into the fields
of synonyms, idioms, expressions and
word families.
It seems that María predicted the future
format of the Royal Academy’s Dictionary
by including words that began with “LL” in
the “L” section, and words that began with
“Ch” in the “C” section (until 1994, the
Royal Academy had listed words
beginning with “LL” and “Ch” under
separate sections). María later added
sections on syntax and grammar to her
dictionary.

18. Handwriting by Maria Moliner.
Transcript: "The idea at the beginning of the work was to make a small dictionary of
the type of" Learner's Dictionary ", for example, that could be done in one or two
years, but the subject grew and grew in my hands and the two years stretched to
fifteen: I started young with little children, and ended up with grandchildren.
I was born in Paniza, province of Zaragoza, where my father was a doctor, and vI an
very Aragonese on all sides. "

19. Her dictionary was published in two
volumes between 1966 and 1967.
In 1981 Maria Moliner died after years of
remaining isolated within the company of
her family after the sad loss of her
husband in 1974.
The second edition, which also includes
a CD-ROM, was published in 1998. The
third and final edition was released in
2007.

20. Being a woman and not a philologist probably
kept María out of the Royal Spanish Academy
– arguably, she should have been the first
female representative.
Perhaps as compensation, María was
awarded a prize in 1973 "for her work on
behalf of the language", which she rejected,
causing a great official scandal and great
approval in feminist circles. Years later,
Carmen Conde, a writer and the first woman
to join the Royal Academy of Language,
referred to the injustice committed against
Maria Moliner in her entry speech to the
Academy.

21. The last years of Mary's life were marked
by the care of her husband, retired in
1962, sick and blind by 1968, and by the
desire to refine and expand her Spanish
Dictionary (published in two major
volumes in 1966-1967, vid. infra).

22. However, in the summer of 1973, suddenly. the first signs emerged from a cerebral
arteriosclerosis, a disease that would be withdrawing from all intellectual activity.
Her husband died on September 4, 1974, which ends with his desire to live.
She spent the next six years, until her own death in 1981, at his home in Madrid, withdrawal from
the world and through the love and care of hier family (her sister Matilde, two sons and numerous
grandchildren).
