Lidia Peradotto
Lidia Peradotto (1892–1951) was an Italian-Argentine logician,[1] the first author of a work on logic in Argentina[2] and the only female member of the Colegio Novecentista, an antipositivist youth intellectual association in Argentina in the 1917–1921 period.[1] She has been called "the single strongest intellectual and, possibly, moral influence" on Argentine philologist María Rosa Lida de Malkiel.[3]
Peradotto was born in 1892 in Turin,[1] but later moved to Argentina with two sisters[3] and became a naturalized Argentine citizen.[1] In 1919, she was rector of the Liceo de Señoritas de La Plata, a girls' high school where Lida de Malkiel later studied, and vice president of the university student section of the Ateneo Hispano-Americano de Buenos Aires.[4] She defended her doctoral dissertation, La logística, in 1924, and published it a year later through the press of the University of Buenos Aires. It has been described as the first published work of any length on symbolic logic in Argentina.[2]
She was named as a professor in 1943, and given the chair for logic in the faculty of philosophy at the University of Buenos Aires.[1][5]
She died on 2 September 1951 in Buenos Aires.[1]
