Olga Maturana Espinosa (October 10, 1906 – July 16, 1973)[1] was a Chilean politician born in Santiago. Maturana worked as Councillor of Pichilemu in 1950, and became the first female Mayor of Pichilemu in 1951.[2][3]
Biography
Maturana was born on October 10, 1906 in Santiago, Chile.[1] Her parents were Arturo Maturana Zúñiga and Emma Espinosa Pedrada.[4]
Maturana married in 1926 Felipe Iturriaga Esquivel in Santiago when he was 20.[4] Maturana and Iturriaga moved to Pichilemu in 1932. Iturriaga was elected Mayor for three terms (1932–1935; 1941–1944; and 1956–1959),[1][5] and Maturana was elected Councillor of Pichilemu in 1950,[6] along with Carlos Echazarreta Larraín, Ricardo Ayala and Armando Caroca Rojas. Sergio Morales Retamal was elected Mayor, but he left the office in 1951.[5]
Olga Maturana succeeded Sergio Morales on May 28, 1951, and became the first female Mayor of Pichilemu, as an independent.[5][6] Her term ended on May 17, 1953.[5][7]
Maturana had five children with her husband Felipe Iturriaga.[1][3]
Maturana died on July 16, 1973 in Pichilemu, Chile at 66.[1]
Influence
As of 2008, only two women had occupied political offices in Pichilemu: Alicia López Galarce (Councillor from 1953 until 1956) and Olga Maturana.[8]
In 2008, 12 women enrolled to the municipal election. Only three of them were eventually elected as councillors: Marta Urzúa, Andrea Aranda and Viviana Parraguez.[9]
