Education for Girls (Argentina)Biography:
Born in San Juan on 12 October 1812, she was the sister of D.F. Sarmiento and became his companion when he was President. She was educated in letters and domestic matters. She was a teacher in the Colegio de Santa Rosa, founded by Sarmiento. She emigrated to San Felipe de Aconcagua with her mother and sisters in 1842. As she was single Sarmiento brought her to Buenos Aires to run his home while he was president from 1868-1874. She did this until his death, in 1888, when she returned to San Juan. She died on 28 September 1902. (Sosa de Newton, 586)
