She was a professor of historical research at the Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile . During the reign of President Salvador Allende , she worked in La Moneda, the seat of government in Santiago de Chile. After the coup in Chile in 1973 , she worked with her compañero Miguel Enríquez , the head of the Movimiento de Izquierda Revolucionaria (MIR) against the military dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet . From December 1973, the two lived with two children from different connections on Calle Santa Fe in the San Miguel district of Santiago de Chile.
