Biography
[edit]Huidobro was born Carolina Frances Holman in either 1859 or 1860 in Talca, Chile.[1] Her father was George Holman, a Pennsylvanian who worked as an American consular agent in Valparaíso.[1]
She was educated in the United States then returned to Chile to teach and write.[2] She moved to Boston, Massachusetts, in the 1890s. In Boston, she adopted the surname Huidobro to appear more credible as a Spanish teacher and lecturer about South America,[2] on topics such as "The Women of Chile and Argentina" and "Christ of the Andes."[3]
Huidobro was a suffragist and served as the Chilian Delegate to the First International National American Woman Suffrage Association conference at Washington D.C.[4] In America, she gave lectures on South America for church societies, peace organisations and women's clubs.[1][5]
She died in New York City on 13 April 1909.[5][6]
