Mexican feminist teacher, and founder of one of the first secular private schools in Mérida, Mexico. She is credited with establishing the first kindergarten to utilize the Froebel method in Mérida. She was the organizer of the First Feminist Congress in Mexico authorized by state governor Salvador Alvarado, in 1916. In 1922, Zavala helped found the Feminist League of Yucatán, as part of the Socialist Party of the Southeast with Elvia Carrillo Puerto, Raquel Dzib Cicero, Rosa Torre González, Beatríz Peniche de Ponce and Adolfina Valencia. One of her students, Antonia Jiménez Trava, became the first female lawyer to graduate with a law degree in Yucatán in 1939. In 1948, she was awarded the Ignacio Manuel Altamirano Medal, for fifty years of educating, and for her distinguished teaching career. Zavala died on 22 June 1956 in Mérida, aged 82. There are six schools in Mexico that bear her name: three in the city of Mérida, one in Akil, Yucatán, one in Kanasín and one in Tizimín. Link to Wikipedia biography
