María Mercedes Vial Solar (1863–1942), also known as María Mercedes Vial de Ugarte or by her literary pseudonym Serafia, was a Chilean feminist writer and novelist.[2][3]

Her parents were Wenceslao Vial y Guznián and Luisa Solar y Marín.[3]

For some authors, her work can be framed within so-called "aristocratic feminism", along with other writers such as Inés Echeverría Bello, Mariana Cox Méndez, Teresa Wilms Montt, María Luisa Fernández, and the sisters Ximena and Carmen Morla Lynch.[4]
