Ofelia Uribe de Acosta (1900 – 1988) was a Colombian suffragist.

Acosta was born on December 22, 1900, in Oiba, Santander.[1]

In 1930, Ofelia presented at the Fourth International Conference for Women to advocate for rights for married women.[2][3][4] Women were not allowed to vote or create contracts.[5] Married women were under the protection of their spouses and their possessions went to their husbands.[5][3]

In 1944 and 1955 respectively, she founded, edited, directed and distributed two political newspapers, the first called Agitacion Femenina (Feminist Movement) and the second called Verdad (Truth).[6]

In 1963 she published the book Una voz insurgente (An Insurgent Voice).

Acosta died on August 4, 1988, in Bogota.[1]
