Zoila Aurora Cáceres Moreno (Lima, 1877 - Madrid, 1958) was a Peruvian writer and journalist, considered one of the forerunners of the feminine suffrage movement in Peru, following in the footsteps of María Jesús Alvarado, who already in 1914 spoke on the possibility of the vote of women. In this regard, Cáceres Moreno inaugurated in 1924 the Feminismo Peruano (Peruvian Feminism) institution, which she would later retoke including the initials of her name in the association. She corresponded with various political and civil society personalities, seeking their integration to the feminist cause. Thus, she managed to get women's suffrage to be debated in the 1931 Constituent Assembly. Currently, her collection of letters, minutes of her political participation, newspaper clippings and various drafts of the writer, are kept by the National Library of Peru.
