Biography
Griselda Hinojosa was born in Copiapó on 20 April 1875, the fourth daughter of Pablo Hinojosa and Mercedes Flores.[1] She studied at the Rafael Valdés Private School for Girls and at the Copiapó Lyceum for Girls.[2]
She studied pharmacy at the University of Chile, graduating on 4 December 1899 with the thesis Contribución al estudio del Solanum Tomatillo (Natri) (Contribution to the Study of the Solanum Tomatillo).[3][4] She was part of the first group of women to earn college degrees in Chile, following the promulgation of the Decreto Amunátegui [es] in 1877; others included physicians Eloisa Diaz (1886) and Ernestina Pérez (1887) and lawyers Matilde Throup (1892) and Matilde Brandau (1898).[5]
She practiced her profession at the Copiapó Apothecary and Drugstore until 1909, and at the Manuel Antonio Matta Pharmacy, located on the homonymous avenue [es] in Santiago, owned by Hinojosa and her husband.[2]
