Due to the War of the Pacific between Peru and Chile, Eva and her family returned to Spain once again, settling in Barcelona. Nonetheless, Perillán ended up moving to Cuba, where he died on March 1, 1889, and Eva moved to the island a short time later. There, she tried to find work in two Cuban newspapers, "Diario de la Marina" and "Unión Constitucional", but their respective directors refused to hire her. Because of this, in 1891 she founded her own weekly, named "La Cotorra," which was characterized by political satire. After spending eight years in Cuba and the Cuban war of Independence ended, Eva returned to Spain, moving back to Madrid. Nonetheless, in 1899, she returned to Buenos Aires, where she began her literary peak, writing three novels, giving a number of conferences and collaborating with various newspapers5. Additionally, she became the owner of a printing press and founded the magazines "Kosmos", in 1904 and "Vida Española", in 19073.
