Virginia Carlota Corvalán Casco
Virginia Carlota Corvalán Casco was a pioneering Paraguayan feminist and lawyer, born on February 9, 1900, in Asunción. She made history as the first woman to write a feminist thesis in Paraguay, advocating for women's suffrage and legal equality in her 1923 doctoral dissertation titled 'El feminismo. La causa de la mujer en el Paraguay.' Corvalán's work challenged societal norms and argued for women's rights, highlighting the injustices of denying women political participation based on gender. She graduated as the only female among her peers in 1918 and was the second woman in Paraguay to earn a law degree. Her legacy endures as a key figure in the fight for women's rights in Paraguay, and she passed away on September 27, 1957.
