Шаблон:Infobox writer 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]

Life and work

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.[10][11]
