Right answer: Eloísa Díaz Insunza

Eloísa Díaz Insunza, born in 1866, was the first female medicine student at the University of Chile and was the first woman doctor in Chile and South America.

In 1880 she applied to the School of Medicine of the University of Chile, after the promulgation of a precursor law of the Minister of Education Miguel Luis Amunátegui Aldunate in 1877, which allowed women to study in the university.  

She graduated on December 27th, 1886 and received her professional degree on January 3rd of the following year.
