Born in Olavarría in the province of Buenos Aires, she attended the National University of La Plata, from which she graduated in 1945.[1] From then on, she was active in the struggle for women's rights. Among the laws she promoted, the divorce law was the most important.[2][3] From 1983 to 1991, Miranda was a member of the Chamber of Deputies for the Unión Cívica Radical. After her death, Miranda lay in state in the “Salón de los pasos perdidos” in the National Congress building.[4][5]
