Luisa Lynch del Solar (1864–1937), also known as Luisa Lynch de Morla from her first marriage and Luisa Lynch de Gormaz from her second, was a Chilean feminist writer, journalist, and socialite. She was the mother of diplomat Carlos Morla Lynch, and the writers Ximena and Carmen Morla Lynch.[3] In addition, she is the subject of the 1888 sculpture Madame Morla Vicuña by Auguste Rodin, which can now be found at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris.[4]

Part of her literary output is known to be unpublished or scattered in newspapers and magazines – as is also the case with other feminist writers such as María Luisa Fernández, Sara Hübner de Fresno, and her own daughters.[5] Her literary work is considered to be part of the early 20th century avant-garde that sought to massify feminist thinking and fight for women's rights.[6][7] In this context, she participated in various women's organizations[8] and institutions dedicated to art.[9]

For some authors, her work can be framed within so-called "aristocratic feminism", along with other writers such as Elvira Santa Cruz Ossa, Inés Echeverría Bello, María Mercedes Vial, Teresa Wilms Montt, Mariana Cox Méndez, and Sofía Eastman.[6][7]
