Petrona Rosende

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Petrona Rosende (1797–1863) was the first female journalist in Argentina.[1][2] She was born in Montevideo, Uruguay, but during Montevideo's occupation by Brazil she moved to Buenos Aires.[3][4] She edited the feminist Buenos Aires periodical La Aljaba (which ran from 1830 to 1831).[5][6][7] Its motto was "We will be free of men's injustice only when we no longer live among them."[8] All of its 18 issues are now held at the Museo Mitre.[9]

In 1835 she went back to Montevideo.[10] On June 20 of that year she published a patriotic sonnet titled Al arribo de mi patria in the newspaper El Nacional.[11] That year she also opened the Casa de la Educación para Señoritas.[12]

In 1861 she was granted a state pension for her services to Uruguay.[13]

On March 8, 2011, Uruguay issued a stamp with her picture on it as part of its Bicentennial Women Series.[14][15]
