Elected in the Radical Civic Union (UCR) ticket alongside Governor Alejandro Armendáriz, Roulet was the first woman to serve as vice governor and the first woman elected in a gubernatorial ticket of any Argentine province.[2] No other woman would hold that office until 1999, when Mercedes Oviedo was elected Vice Governor of Misiones.[3]
Roulet was born in 1932 in Juan Nepomuceno Fernández, a small town in the Necochea Partido of Buenos Aires Province.[4] She studied architecture at the University of Buenos Aires Faculty of Architecture and Design, graduating in 1957. She then went on to earn a degree on Developmental Social Sciences from the University of Paris.[5] She was married to Jorge Esteban Roulet (1928–1987), an engineer and UCR activist who was dean of the University of Buenos Aires Faculty of Engineering in 1974.[1]
