Zoila Aurora Cáceres Moreno (Lima, 1877 - Madrid, 1958) was a Peruvian writer and journalist, social activist and one of the forerunners of the women's suffrage movement in Peru. In 1924 she founded the Femismo Peruano (Peruvian Feminism) institution in order to fight for the civil and political rights of women. Following this interest, she wove an active network of contacts in different parts of the country, communicating with women's organizations of civil society as well as with various political personalities of the time. Currently, part of his collection of personal documents is kept by the National Library of Peru.
