Sofía Sara Hübner Bezanilla (born 18 December 1888;[1] date of death unknown), also known as Sara Hübner de Fresno and by her literary pseudonym Magda Sudermann, was a Chilean feminist writer, journalist, and editor.[2][3]

Biography

The daughter of the writer Carlos Luis Hübner and Teresa Bezanilla,[1] Sara Hübner de Fresno wrote for newspapers and magazines,[4] including Zig-Zag [es], Sucesos, and Artes y letras.[5][6][7] She also edited the Women's Page section of the periodical Las Últimas Noticias in the early 20th century.[8]

Part of her literary output is known to be unpublished or scattered in newspapers and magazines – as is also the case with other feminist writers such as Luisa Lynch, María Luisa Fernández, and the sisters Ximena and Carmen Morla Lynch.[9] Her literary work is considered to be part of the early 20th century avant-garde that sought to increase feminist thinking and fight for women's rights.[10][11][12] However some of her writings express feelings of contempt toward the Mapuche people.[13]

She married Enrique Fresno Ingunza in 1929.[14]
