ABOUT ZOILA UGARTE

Writer, journalist, human rights activist and feminist, Zoila Ugarte de Landívar was the first woman to practice journalism in Ecuador, along with Hipatia Cárdenas de Bustamante (1889-1972).

She was born on June 27, 1864, in the El Guabo parish, located near Machala (El Oro province). From a father from Guayaquil and a mother from Machal, she was the fifth of eleven siblings.

Under the pseudonym “Zarelia” she collaborated with poems, prose, and short publications in the weekly Tesoro del Hogar. In 1905 she founded the magazine La Mujer while serving as director of the National Library. In 1911 she was the first editor of the political newspaper La Prensa. In addition, she contributed her articles to various media such as La Ondina del Guayas and El Hogar Cristiano.

La Mujer, the first women’s magazine in the country, went down in the history of Ecuadorian culture as a tribune for progressive and democratic ideas where achievements in the social and political field of women were published and their rights were demanded. The magazine also featured feminist stories, essays, and articles written by women eager to publicly share their political ideals and literary work.

It was closed several times for its messages on the conquest of social and political rights for women, the main cause being political reasons.

Her feminist activism resulted, in 1922, in the Luz de Pichincha Feminist Society, an organization of which she was its president. She also fought for women’s right to vote, which led her to found the Anticlerical Feminist Center in 1930.

At a time when the position of women was relegated to taking care of the house and raising children, the presence and ideas of Zoila Ugarte were important props for the subsequent conquests that women would experience in the social, political, and rights fields. Zoila would also be the first to recognize herself as a feminist and the first woman to defend a liberal political position.

The Cuenca writer Raquel Rodas points out that inspired by the Liberal Revolution, Zoila would define journalism as her career, but a “controversial, combative and disruptive” journalism (Rodas, 2010).

Together with other women such as Raquel Verdesoto, Hipatia Cárdenas, and María Augusta Idrovo, they showed the gaps in Ecuadorian legislation that, although it did not guarantee the female vote, it did not explicitly prohibit it either. In this way, through writings in the “small press” or alternative, they made public the debate on women’s suffrage, paving the way for Matilde Hidalgo to exercise her right to vote for the first time in May 10, 1924.

Zoila Ugarte was also involved in teaching, defending public and secular education for popular and middle-class women. She was a teacher at the Fernández Madrid, Manuela Cañizares and Simón Bolívar schools. She believed that education was the way for women to secure a future for themselves.

Women like Zoila Ugarte fought and proclaimed their space as citizens and people, and through writing and education, they demanded a country from them and for them.
Zoila Ugarte died on November 16, 1969, at the age of 105.
