Elina González Acha de Correa Morales (20 January 1861 – 13 August 1942) was an Argentine educator, scientist and women's rights activist.
[3] In 1887, she took a position to work at the Public Museum (Spanish: Museo Publico) of Buenos Aires and applied to enter the Argentine Geographic Institute [es] in 1888.
[4] After Ernestina A. López founded the Liceo Nacional de Señoritas later that same year,[5] González became the school's Professor of Geography and Natural Sciences.
[4] The couple ran an intellectual household and had many visitors from among the elite intelligentsia, as well as receiving delegations of indigenous peoples seeking their help with securing their ancestral rights.
[6] In 1900, González joined the National Council of Women (Spanish: Consejo Nacional de Mujeres) and completed two oil paintings on canvas, Cabeza and Amalita.
[4] Continuing her own education while teaching, González studied with Eduardo Ladislao Holmberg, collecting insects, learning to embalm birds and began to publish books.
[12] As part of a special supplement to the newspaper La Nación, González published the Historia de los Conocimientos Geográficos (History of Geographic Knowledge), which gave a record of the country's topography and boundaries.
[16] González met with Rosario Vera Peñaloza [es] and the board of directors of GÆA in 1937 to design and construct relief maps of the country showing all of the provinces.
Two years later when GÆA established their new headquarters, a portrait of González, painted by her daughter Lía Correa Morales de Yrurtia was installed in her memory.
