Aída Peláez Martínez ( fl. 5 February 1895 – 1923), also known by her pseudonym Eugenio, [1] was a Cuban writer, journalist, suffragist, and feminist activist. [2] She was one of the architects of Cuba's women's suffrage campaign of the 1910s, along with Digna Collazo and Amalia Mallén. [3] To this end, she participated in various pro-feminist organizations. [4]
She was the daughter of Rodolfo Manuel José Jesús Peláez y Hernández and Adela María Aída de la Caridad Martínez y Díaz Morales, and began to write at an early age. After her father forbade her to continue such work, she used the pseudonym Eugenio at the request of her mother. [2]
Aída was one of the pioneers of the feminist movement in Cuba. [5] She participated in the Continental Women's Union, an organization which took a leading role, [6] and served in the National Suffragist Party as its vice president [7] and representative in the First Women's Congress (1923). [4] She also founded the Panamerican Round Table and Women's House of America. [8] She was the "first woman to be counted as a member of the Governing Board of the Athenaeum of Havana, having been re-elected to it three times." [2]
In 1923, she published "Necesidad del voto para la mujer" (Necessity of the vote for women) in the magazines El Sufragista [9] and El sufragio femenino. [4] Furthermore, she was editor of the periodicals La discusión, [2] La Mujer (together with Domitila García de Coronado and Isabel Margarita Ordetx), de Atlántida (together with Clara Moreda), [5] and the literary-cultural magazine Ideal which she founded in 1919.
