María Mercedes Cabal
María Mercedes Cabal Borrero (25 September 1819 - 4 May 1904) was the wife of the Vice President Manuel Mallarino. Daughter of Mr. Víctor Cabal Molina, a wealthy landowner and politician, and Mrs. María Petrona Borrero Costa, she owes her fame not only to her husband's notoriety, but also to the fact that various authors affirm that she was the inspiration for the protagonist in the novel María de Jorge Isaacs. From 1855 to 1857, her husband served as acting president. References
