It was the first time that a woman held this position. She was also a delegate of the Faculty of Dentistry to the Local University Federation (Federaci\u00f3n Universitaria Local; FUL). On 3 August 1942 she founded, together with others, the University Women’s Association of La Paz, of which she was a member for dentistry. From 1958 to 1959, she was president of this association, and managed conferences attended by women professionals.Paredes was the first vice president of the Pro-School Committee of Journalism, founded on 2 September 1957.

She was also part of the 75th anniversary of the International Council of Women in Washington (1963). she was also invited to the Philippines (1979) and Thailand (1981) to present the thesis “Integration of the Peasant Woman”.At the national level, Paredes was part of the Consultative Council of the Honorable City Hall during the administration of mayor Armando Escobar (1975), was elected councilor for La Paz, and was president of the Honorable City Council of La Paz (1986\u20131987).

She contributed to journals in Bolivia, Panama, Mexico, Spain, Peru, and Argentina. She worked as a correspondent for La Patria in the city of Oruro and founded the women’s magazine Superaci\u00f3n.[3] She was the president of Nuestra Revista, a publication which disseminated women’s aspirations and called for respect for women’s rights.[4]About Paredes, the professor Jos\u00e9 Mar\u00eda Gutierrez said:Mrs. Elsa Paredes de Salazar followed courses of Law and Dentistry at the University of La Paz, managing to crown her brilliant studies with the university degree of Surgeon-dentist in National Provision. She studied Political and Social Sciences only to expand her vast culture without being seduced by the hard work of the professional, taking advantage of his intellectual skills at the service of society to vigorously promote institutions of social assistance and dissemination of women’s culture, work in which she has undoubtedly achieved full success. However, Dr. Paredes de Salazar has taken special care not only to analyze issues related to the family and society, but has studied historical and legal problems of undeniable importance, demonstrating their capacity and illustration.[5]Personal life[edit]On 14 March 1943, Elsa Paredes married the United Nations diplomat Hugo Salazar Salm\u00f3n.[6] Thereafter, she adopted her husband’s surname and was renamed Elsa Paredes de Salazar. The couple had four children: Fernando, Jenny, Havier, and Roxana. The latter now runs the Elsa Paredes de Salazar Museum, displaying dolls with typical costumes from Bolivia and the world.Presencia de nuestro puebloDiccionario biogr\u00e1fico de la mujer boliviana (1965)La mujer y su \u00e9poca (1972)Malinche (1998)Elsa Paredes de Salazar Museum of Dolls[edit]Elsa’s penchant for dolls began when she was eight years old. At that time, her mother gave her two dolls: one made by hand, dressed in traditional attire of the Altiplano, and another of European manufacture, made of porcelain. Elsa collected dolls from that moment until the end of her life. Her passion led her to collect more than 800 dolls,[7] although she did not acquire all of them; some were given to her, especially by friends and her husband, who was a diplomat and was constantly traveling.[6] She also created several of them with her own hands and even made them clothes.[8] Currently, her collection is exhibited in the museum in La Paz that bears her name.References[edit]^ “Antonio Paredes Candia, el padre de las ferias del libro” [Antonio Paredes Candia, the Father of Book Fairs].
