Teresa Flores

Teresa Flores (January 4, 1890 – October 5, 1952), known as Compañerita, was a Chilean labor leader, feminist, and founding member of the Chilean Socialist Workers' Party.

Biography Teresa Flores was born in Iquique, Chile, in 1890. Her mother, María Flores y López, was a seamstress; her father's identity was not recorded.

She became associated with the prominent Spanish anticlerical and anarchist activist Belén de Sárraga, who visited Chile in 1913. She served as secretary and later president of the center.

From 1912 (perhaps earlier) until his death in 1924, Flores was partners with the Chilean labor leader Luis Emilio Recabarren. After being widowed, she was featured in the 1924 film "Los funerales de Recabarren." Around 1932, she lived in Maipú with her partner Tomás Conelli, a communist leader and longtime collaborator of Recabarren's.

Flores died in Santiago in 1952.
