María Mercedes Vial
María Mercedes Vial Solar, also known as María Mercedes Vial de Ugarte or by her literary pseudonym Serafia, was a Chilean feminist writer and novelist.
Her parents were Wenceslao Vial y Guznián and Luisa Solar y Marín.
For some authors, her work can be framed within so-called "aristocratic feminism", along with other writers such as Inés Echeverría Bello, Mariana Cox Méndez, Teresa Wilms Montt, María Luisa Fernández, and the sisters Ximena and Carmen Morla Lynch.
