[3] In 1919, Chacón participated in a teacher's strike led by Acuña against the administration of President Federico Tinoco Granados for labor law violations, along with Matilde Carranza, Lilia González, Carmen Lyra, Victoria Madrigal, Vitalia Madrigal, Esther De Mezerville, María Ortiz, Teodora Ortiz, Ester Silva and Andrea Venegas.

[2] In 1925, the Liga presented their demand for the recognition of political and civil rights for women, urging that without the protection of the law they were disadvantaged both socially and economically.

[6] Chacón and other feminists continued to push for their right to vote, meeting with every subsequent Congress—1939, 1941, 1944, 1947—until finally, after the Costa Rican Civil War, enfranchisement was granted in 1948.

The goal was to obtain scholarships for deserving students, create teacher exchanges, build libraries, and offer education to domestic workers.

In 1943, when President Rafael Calderón Guardia attempted to change the election laws to manipulate the vote, Chacón was one of the leaders of the protest and spoke not only about the reform but the need for suffrage.
