Biography
Élida Passo was born in Buenos Aires in 1867, the daughter of a pharmacist.[1] When she began her higher education, she first pursued a major in Humanities and Philosophy, and had a brief stint in Exact, Physical, and Natural Sciences, both faculties of the University of Buenos Aires.[2] She eventually decided to follow in the footsteps of her father and study pharmacy.[1] She graduated in 1885, becoming the first South American woman to earn a university degree.[2][3]
Later she wanted to study medicine, but the university authorities denied her entry, arguing that it would be too difficult or uncomfortable for a woman to study with all male colleagues.[1] This led Passo to initiate a judicial appeal which would have great repercussions in the academic field.[1] This ended in her favor and she was able to enroll in the program.[1]
Élida Passo died of tuberculosis in 1893,[4] when she was in her fifth year of study and was close to completing her medical degree and becoming the first woman physician in Argentina.[1][2] Cecilia Grierson would earn this distinction in 1889.[5]
