Sara Casals de Quirós

activist Costa Rica

Sara Casals de Quirós was a prominent Costa Rican dressmaker and educator who played a significant role in the women's suffrage movement in the early 20th century. A graduate of fashion studies in Paris, she became a professor at the Colegio de Señoritas and was instrumental in advocating for women's rights, particularly through her involvement with the Liga Feminista, founded in 1923. In a notable incident around 1929 or 1931, she confronted legislator León Cortés outside the Congress after he reneged on his promise to support women's voting rights, famously threatening him with her umbrella.
