The magazine was going to be called Caras y Caretas - faces and masks - but as Peru was under a military dictatorship at the time they decided to call it just Caretas to symbolise the repression they were living under.

They planned to revert to the original title after the dictatorship but it never happened.

Soon afterwards, the magazine was shut down for the first time. It was to be the first of eight closures, most of them during another military dictatorship in the 1970s of General Juan Velasco.

A female editor in the 50s under an oppressive political regime! Wow, surely she’s famous for her perseverance, intellect and resolve! Right?:

Doris was a very beautiful young woman and famous for her long, shapely legs. She had a relationship with the artist Servulo Gutierrez to whom she was both a lover and a muse.

Thanks, BBC. Moving on: Thanks for blazing those trials, Doris. We’re sure you’ll be missed.
