Lola Larrosa de Ansaldo (1859–1895) was a writer and editor born in Uruguay who lived most of her life in Argentina, where she died.

After the family emigrated to Buenos Aires, Argentina, she began writing in earnest, a passion she had found at an early age.

When Gorriti was out of the country during an armed conflict and unable to return to publish the paper, she asked Larrosa take over as editor.

According to Vanesa Guerra, who wrote the prologue to Larrosa's The Luxury, the novel's background suggests similarities to the author's life.
