Dolores Veintimilla de Galindo

Dolores Veintimilla was born on 12 July 1829 in Quito. Married at eighteen to the physician Sixto Antonio Galindo, from New Granada, she lived in Guayaquil and then, from 1854, in Cuenca, often alone during her husband's absences. In April 1857, after witnessing the execution of an Indian, Tiburcio Lucero, she published a "Necrología" against the death penalty, which brought on her a violent campaign of denigration. She died in Cuenca on 23 May 1857.
