| Submission declined on 11 October 2024 by TechnoSquirrel69 (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia. This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

Early Life and Family Background
Claudia Rosenhouse Raiken was born in Washington, D.C., but spent the first nine years of her life in Guatemala. Her father served as a correspondent for Time and Life Magazine from 1951 to 1962, eventually becoming their bureau chief in Guatemala and later in Mexico, overseeing all news coverage from Latin America. Claudia's mother, Ruth Garcia-Granados, hails from a distinguished family in Guatemala. Ruth's father, Jorge Garcia-Granados, was a prominent politician and diplomat, and a grandson of Miguel Garcia-Granados, Guatemala's first president following its independence and the leader and philosopher of the 19th-century liberal revolution.
Jorge Garcia-Granados played a crucial role as Guatemala's ambassador to the United Nations, where his vote was pivotal in the establishment of the State of Israel. He documented his experiences and the historical events of that period in his book, The Birth of Israel: The Drama as I Saw It.
María Josefa García Granados y Zavala, an early feminist and writer, is another notable figure in Claudia's family. Born on July 10, 1796, in El Puerto de Santa María, Spain, María Josefa was a Guatemalan intellectual, writer, journalist, and poet. She was one of the leading intellectuals advocating for Guatemala's independence in 1821 and a feminist who challenged societal norms of her time. María Josefa, known to her friends and acquaintances as "Pepita," was the sister of General Miguel García Granados, the first liberal president of Guatemala.
Personal Life
Claudia has lived all over North America, but now makes her home in Queens, New York, where she writes, teaches, and gives sessions. She is happily married to Larry Raiken and is very proud of her two beautiful daughters, Iris and Amber.
