Educator and activist Ana Roque de Duprey created her first school in her parents’ house in the town of Aguadilla. She also wrote a geography textbook that was later adopted by the Department of Education. As a suffragist and educator, Roque was one of the founders of the University of Puerto Rico in both the town of Mayagüez and its campus in San Juan. She also created an all-girls school called Liceo Ponceño in the town of Ponce. Her suffragist work includes the Puerto Rican Feminist League and the Suffragist Social League.
