Details

Lilia González González (1891–1973) was a Costa Rican educator, and activist. She graduated from the Teacher's Training School in 1907 and began teaching at the Escuela Párvulos directed by Anatolia Zamora de Obregón. She also taught at the Escuela Superior de Niñas No. 4 and the Escuela Graduada, both of which were under the direction of Esther Silva. Beginning in 1912, she worked with Carmen Lyra on a children's magazine called "San Selerín" that they published for several years. She was active in the movement against the labor policies of President Federico Tinoco Granados, which culminated in a 1919 teacher's strike and the teachers setting fire to the government newspaper office, La Información. The strike, led by Ángela Acuña Braun included teachers like Gonzáles and Ana Rosa Chacón, Matilde Carranza, Carmen Lyra, Victoria Madrigal, Vitalia Madrigal, Esther De Mezerville, María Ortiz, Teodora Ortiz, Ester Silva and Andrea Venegas.
