Amalia Mallén de Ostolaza was a Cuban essayist, translator, suffragist and feminist activist. She helped design Cuba’s women’s suffrage campaign in the 1910s, together with Digna Collazo and Aída Peláez de Villa Urrutia. She helped found the country’s first suffrage groups: the National Feminist Party (1912), the Suffragist Party (1913) and the National Suffragist Party (1913). She also directed the newspapers La Luz (1913) and El Sufragista. In 1924, while president of the National Suffragist Party, she named journalist María Collado Romero as her vice president.
