Biography edit
Rodríguez was born in Santa María, Catamarca on 6 January 1916.[1] When she was seven, the family moved to Campo Quijano.[2] She married Francisco Copa, who worked on the General Manuel Belgrano Railway.[2] At the time of the marriage, Francisco started a new job in Tolar Grande and the couple relocated to the village.[2] They later returned to Campo Quinajo so their children could attend school.[2]
Upon her return to Campo Quijano, she established a Perón committee.[2] In the 1951 legislative elections she was a Peronist Party candidate in Salta and was one of the 26 women elected to the Chamber of Deputies.[3] She remained in office until 1955, when her term was cut short by the Revolución Libertadora.[4] Following the coup, she was jailed.[5]
Rodríguez died on 16 September 2010 at the age of 94.[6]
