Salomé Ureña was born in Santo Domingo on 21 October 1850, the daughter of the lawyer and writer Nicolás Ureña de Mendoza, and received her first lessons from the women of her family. Her patriotic verses made her known; a first collection appeared in 1880, the year of her marriage to Francisco Henríquez y Carvajal. Close to Eugenio María de Hostos, she founded in 1881 the Institute for Young Women, the country's first women's institution of higher education. She died in Santo Domingo on 6 March 1897.
