Marcelina Almeida (c. 1830 – 1880), was an Argentine-born Uruguayan writer living in Montevideo, since she was young. Almeida used the pseudonyms Abel and Reine mi bella acclamada (anagram of her full name) to sign her contributions in publications of the time. Her work, Por una fortuna una cruz, is considered the first Uruguayan feminist novel.[1][2][3]
