19th-century Chilean Women

The 19th century was characterized by vast social upheaval. Slavery was abolished in much of Europe and the Americas.

A university () is an institution of higher (or tertiary) education and research which awards academic degrees in several academic disciplines.

People From Valparaíso
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility.

The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of per ...
