María Abella de Ramírez

María Abella de Ramírez (1863–1926) was a Uruguayan feminist, noted for her role in establishing Uruguayan and Argentine women's groups in the early 1900s.

Abella published a journal, We Women (Nosotras), and was a contributor to the National Feminist League journal The New Woman.

Involved in the Argentine freethinking movement, in 1903 Abella supported the creation of a feminist center to facilitate discussions, later explaining her “minimum plan of female vindications” at the 1906 Freethinker Congress, arguing for equal opportunities and pay for women. Abella founded the National League of Women Freethinkers in 1909 with Dr. Julieta Lanteri, and in 1910 Abella founded the National Women’s League in La Plata, Argentina. This organisation supported women's suffrage, and was aligned with the International Woman Suffrage Alliance.
