Carolina Freyre

In 1871 she began writing for El Correo de Lima, publishing articles on "The Scientific Spirit of the Century," "Women's Education," etc.

[4] Having settled in Lima, Freyre became part of the city's intellectual social scene established in the 1870s, joining a group of women writers led by Teresa González de Fanning from Ancash, Mercedes Cabello from Moquegua, and Clorinda Matto from Cusco.

[5] The group was established through a variety of cultural spaces, particularly the literary soirees held in the home of the Argentine writer Juana Manuela Gorriti.

She also transferred her long-running column "Revista de Lima," which had previously appeared in the newspaper La Patria, to El Álbum.

Her brother Andrés Freyre Arias was an important figure during the War of the Pacific and worked alongside Carolina and her father on the family's editorial and journalistic endeavors, which had a significant cultural influence in Tacna.
