Adela Zamudio

Died in 1928

Adela Zamudio was born in Cochabamba on 11 October 1854 and signed her first verses with the pseudonym Soledad. A schoolteacher, she long ran a public girls' school in her city and founded an academy of painting. Her writings of 1913 stirred a great public controversy, and President Hernando Siles crowned her in 1926. She died on 2 June 1928. The day of her birth has become Women's Day in Bolivia.
