About the talk

This session, organized by the Foro de Mujeres de El Llano, will feature a presentation by María Socorro Suárez Lafuente, who was a professor of English Philology at the Universidad de Oviedo and co-founder of the Women and Literature Seminar.

During the meeting, we will explore the life of Inés Suárez:

  • She was the first Spanish woman to arrive in Chilean territory.
  • She accompanied Pedro de Valdivia on the expedition that founded Santiago de Nueva Extremadura in 1541.
  • She is remembered as a unique figure, a strategist, and one of the few women recognized in the early stages of colonization.

It is an ideal plan to delve into the history of a woman who, with her determination, left an indelible mark as a pioneer in America. I hope you can attend! 📚
