Abstract

This article studies the figure of Soledad Acosta de Samper (1833-1913), one of the most important writers, journalists, and translators of Colombia. We will demonstrate how, through the translation of a series of journalistic articles, Acosta embraced the emerging feminist discourse that emerged in Latin America at the end of the 19th century. She denounced the situation of women and advocated for an active role in the public sphere. Finally, we will demonstrate that Acosta was not an invisible translator, as she made her presence known through her comments and paratexts.
