About María Elena Maseras
- María Elena Maseras i Ribera (25 May 1853 - 4 December 1905), also known as Helena Maseras, was a Spanish woman who was allowed to enlist as a university student with special dispensation in 1872; having been formally admitted to a class in 1875, she was finally allowed to graduate in 1882, which created a precedent allowing women to enroll at universities in Spain from that point on.
- She studied medicine at the University of Barcelona, but did not sit the last exam to qualify to practice as a physician, and became a teacher instead.Some gardens in the Eixample district were named after her.
