Maria Cristina Mena (later María Cristina Chambers; April 3, 1893 – August 3, 1965) was the author of eleven short stories, five children's books, and a nonfiction article. She is best known for her short stories, published mainly in ''The Century Magazine'' and ''American Magazine'' from 1913 to 1916. With renewed interest in the history of Mexican-American literature and the publication of all her short fiction in ''The Collected Stories of María Cristina Mena,'' her work is now receiving greater consideration.
