In this chapter, I present the legacy of Dr. Myriam Tarragó, one of the most outstanding professionals in Argentinian archaeology. Through her memories, research, and published work, I describe Dr. Tarragó’s professional career, her teaching years at the university, and her experience managing museum collections. Thanks to the experience of breaking the “glass ceiling,” Tarragó has become an example of the possibilities of women in the discipline on account of her relentless multifaceted career and academic performance, though interrupted in Argentina by several political processes the country has undergone.
