In 1919, together with Eloísa Díaz, Beatriz Letelier, Hayra Guerrero de Sommerville, Isaura Dinator, Juana de Aguirre Cerda, Carmela de Laso, and Fresia Escobar, among others, she founded the National Council of Women of Chile "which actively participated in the defense of women's rights".[6]
In 1926, she was one of the founders of the Partido Demócrata Femenino (Women's Democratic Party) along with Rebeca Varas, E. Brady, and Gabriela Barros, among others;[7][1] they drafted one of the first bills that sought to amend electoral legislation giving women the right to vote.[1]
In 1927, she founded the "Bando Femenino", an institution that brought together several feminist women's groups and whose objective was to join forces in favor of the movement for women's rights in the late 1920s.[8][9][10]
She also organized the Congreso Interamericano de Mujeres (Inter-American Congress of Women) held in Santiago in 1929.[1]
