Amelia Solar de Claro (October 11, 1836 - November 21, 1915) was a Chilean poet, playwright, and essayist.
Maria Amelia de las Mercedes Solar was the daughter of José MarÃÂa del Solar MarÃÂn and Mercedes MarÃÂn del Solar, the first Chilean poet and intellectual.
She married José Luis Claro y Cruz, the promoter and one of the founders of the Cuerpo de Bomberos de Santiago, with whom she had four children, among them the jurist Luis Claro Solar and the deputy Raúl Claro Solar.
She is recognized for having written and published one of the first dramatic texts of Chilean children's literature: MarÃÂa Cenicienta: comedia en 3 actos i en verso (MarÃÂa Cinderella: comedy in 3 acts and verse), a comic work that was performed in ValparaÃÂso in 1884. Together with other writers such as Delfina MarÃÂa Hidalgo or Quiteria Varas MarÃÂn, Solar published some of the first texts assigned to Chilean women's poetry at the end of the 19th century.
