Claudia Pineiro is one of the most translated female Argentine writer and is best know as a crime writer although she doesn't consider herself as a crime writer. In Elena Knows, she seeks to establish the truth, and explores the idea of control over one's bodies and other people's bodies, as in the case of illness or medicine and in the case of abortion the control that women have over the right to become a mother or not.
