Brief Description:

A brief description of the Most Popular Topics of this Release are: Clearly Women as the Main Topic, also: Personalities, or Women Personalities. Then going to more specific Topics, Uruguayan Women, or Uruguayan Personalities, and of course in particular the Womenbeing honoured in this Issue, María Bernabela "Belela" Herrera Sanguinetti.

Finally, surrounding the Personality of  "Belela" Herrerasome Topics arises. By her profession Teacher, by his studies Sociology, by his work: Politics, Diplomatic Relationships, Refugees, United Nations, Human Rights, and by the places in which she helped, besides her country Uruguay, she is deeply related with Chile, specially in the moment in which Augusto Pinochet assumed power in Chile following a United States-backed coup d'état on 11 September 1973 that overthrew the elected socialist Unidad Popular government of President Salvador Allende. Another countries in which he worked were: Argentina, México, España, Perú, Brasil, El Salvador, Haití, and Sudáfrica.

Then, looking at the desing of the Issue, very few Topics appears, the most visible is Photography, as it is how is shown Belela Herrera in the stamp design, then also Cravat and Earrings, or a wider Women Clothing Accesories, because she is using these Accesoriesin the Photographyselected for the Stamp Design, and another observation that could be done is that in all items, in the Stamp, in the Block, and in the FDC Cancellation , the Woman Sign appears, so a wider Signs could be another Topic of this issue. Finally, in the Special Cover Designed for this Issue appears, as a stripe, the Uruguayan Flag, so Flags could be considered another Topic of this Release too.

Finally, a few words about this Traditional annual issue of uruguayan post office about Remarkable Uruguayan Womenthat is released since 2007. The women previously honoured in these serie were: Julia Arévalo in 2007, Nelly Goitiño in 2008, Delmira Agustiniin 2009, Alba Roballo in 2010, then a Special Edition in 2011followed because of Uruguayan Bicentennial and highlighting the life of Petrona Rosende and Josefa Oribe. After that another Peculiar Edition in 2012 dedicated to a Theater play called "También hicimos patria", that in english means "We also build country", that travels the 200 years of Uruguayan history, through the life of it Remarkable Women, then in 2013 a Series of three Stampswas issued honouring: "Tota" and Elena Quinteros, Jorgelina Martínez, and María Viñas Sendic, finally returning in 2014 to the release of a Single Stamp Serie about the Personality of Luisa Cuesta.

As Main Topic: The most direct and popular one will be Theatre, Television or Actresses, and of course that one included in a wider Arts Topic.

Then, inside TheatreTopic, the release is obviously focus on the Personalityof Cristina Morán, an Uruguayan Actress that also worked as Presenter and Announcer in many Television and Radio Shows, so Uruguayan Actresses, Uruguayan Presenters and Uruguayan Announcersare more precise Topics for this release, and even Remarkable Uruguayan Womencould be another Topic for this Issue too.

Also, a wider Uruguayan Personalities could be selected as Main Topic of this issue, not only as an immediate generalization of the previously named ones, also because this release is explicitly issued with this objective, as it is a Traditional Annual Series, that commemorate Remarkable Personalities of Uruguay.

Then, surrounding the main topic, could be found the followings:As Cristina Morán also worked in Radio Dramas, Audio Dramasor Radio Theater, this specific part of both worlds the Theater one, and the Radio one, could be an interesting Topic not much seen in Philatelic Items.

Then, several Radioand TelevisionBroadcasterscould be associated with Cristina Morán, as she worked for them through her career.

First "Radio Carve"in which she played serveral Radio Dramas, and then "Saeta TV Canal 10"in which she worked for three decades, being with them the First woman to appear in the Uruguayan Television, and gained recognition as the Presenter of "Domingos Continuados", and also worked as an Actressin two TV Comediesin this Channel. She also participated in the traditional TV Show of "Canal 12", "El Show del Mediodía". Finally, she also was the Presenterof two TV Showsin "Canal 5".

Also, some Theater Plays, and Plays Writterscould be related with the Personalityof Cristina Morán, as he worked as an Actressin the plays "La Pecera", in english "The Fishbowl"of Eduardo Sarlos, an Hungarian writterthat lives almost all his life in Uruguay, and also the plays "Mujeres de arena", and "Hijas de la Mala vida", in english "Women of Sand" and "Daughters of the bad life", both from the Mexican Writter and Human Rights Activist Humberto Robles.

Now, regarding the desing of the stamps: As it includes a Pictureof Cristina Morán, besides the PhotographyTopic, also some other minor Topics could be identified, that are: Rings, Earrings and also Hands.

Also Flagscould be a topic added, as on the top of the stamp, where it is placed the legend "Personalidades Destacadas de Uruguay", that means "Remarkable Personalities from Uruguay", a Ribbonwith the pattern of the Flag of Uruguay slides behind the legend.

Finally, in a more symbolic way: This release, puts Arts, and in particular Theateror Performing, in a relevant place, as in this year is a Personality of this scope, one of the selected for the Annual Series of Remarkable People from Uruguay. Also, the selection of Cristina Morán in particular, broaden the spectrum of Performing, as she traveled, through her career, in all the scopes in which Performing is needed, as it is Radio, Television, and Theater.

Block:

Also Flagscould be a topic reinforced by the Block as, in the same way that it is done in the stamp, on the top of it, where it is placed the legend "Personalidades Destacadas del Uruguay", a Ribbonwith the pattern of the Flag of Uruguay slides behind the legend.

As Main Topic: Undoubtedly the personality of Luisa Cuesta is the Main Topic of the stamp, however, her life and Fight, sure put this release in Human Rights related Topic, and also by the annual serie in which is included, it could be tackled by the Women Topic, or Women Personalities, from a wider Personalities.

Then, surrounding the main topic, could be found the followings: The most direct one is the Civic-military dictatorship of Uruguay (1973–1985) , that was in these context that the son of Luisa was captured and still missing, and the fight for knowing his faith was and still, is her main activity. This dictatorship could be part of a wider Uruguayan coup d'états, or even wider Coup d'états, and also even wider than these, Uruguayan History, Southamérica History, and the widest one History, in particular this case the Plan Condor, or Operation Condor, a campaign of Political repression and Terrorism involving intelligence operations and assassination of opponents, officially implemented in 1975 by the Right-wing dictatorships of the Southern Cone of South America, aided by United States providing technical support and supplying military aid to the participants. The program was intended to eradicate communist or Soviet influence and ideas, and to suppress active or potential opposition movements against the participating governments. Also, by it horrible consecuences, Militaria is a topic related too, and in its unhuman use Politics, and Power. Then, in a more indirect way GeographicalTopics, like the City of Mercedes, the capital and largest city of the Department of Soriano in Uruguay, because is where Luisa Cuesta lived before the lost of his son Nebio Ariel Melo, and Netherlandsor Holland, because is were she received Asylum. Also International Associations like: "Federación de Agrupaciones de Familiares de América Latina", or local ones like "Asociación de Familiares de Uruguayos Desaparecidos (AFUDE)", and "Madres y Familiares de Uruguayos Detenidos-Desaparecidos". Finally, by her recognitions, the topics: Illustrious Citizen of Montevideoor Distinguished Citizen of Montevideo, as well as Doctor honoris causa of UDELAR, the Uruguayan University, could be added too.

Now, regarding the desing of the stamp: As it is mainly a close-up Picture, taken by the Photographer Martha Helena Passeggi, of Luisa Cuesta, that with her 93 years at the moment of the release, the stamp could be a nice item for an Old Ladies collection, or Old age one, where White Hair or Grey Hair could be spotted too, and also her Eyeglassescould be useful in some collections about this partial Vision Disability. Then, the other item to spot is the Sign of Female Gender, perhaps useful for a wider Signs.

Finally, in a more symbolic way: The stamp enforces the Fight for Human Rights, for the Known of Truth, for Justice, and Against Terrorism

Block:

The block: Only reinforces the Topics Sign of Female Gender, or the widers Signs and Females or Women, adding this Sign as the icon selected to show the inks used in printing the Block, and also, as it was done in the stamp, the legend "Mujeres notables", that means Remarkable women, have his 'o' letter replaced by this Sign.

FDC:

The desing of the First Day Cancelation:is the Logo of the Human Rights Association "Madres y Familiares de Uruguayos Detenidos-Desaparecidos" in which Luisa Cuesta participates, that groups the families that have some integrant of them dissapear since the dictatorship of 1975. The logo has a Marguerite, Daisy, or Ox-Eye Daisy (Bellis perennis), a common European species of daisy, of the Asteraceae family, often considered the archetypal species of that name, and for this reason the FDC is useful for a Flowers, or some wider Plants, Vegetables, Flora Collections.

Finally, in a more symbolic way: The Marguerite with the missing petals could be seen in two ways, one as the dissapeared persons, however, it only, at less for me, symbolizes the Hope, the Unwavering Effort, the Peaceful Fight, that all the people like Luisa Cuesta represent.

If you consider that there are another topics in this stamp, that were not spot in this review, you are encouraged to telling me about them, so please do not hesitate to post a comment. I would appreciate your help very much.
