Jerónima Gutiérrez (Gerónima, Jerónima Núñez) was likely from Andalucía. She was married to printer Juan Pablos. Some researchers assumed that Jerónima Gutiérrez managed Juan Pablos’ print shop until Pedro Ocharte leased it. However, Rosa María Fernández de Zamora’s research finds that she published Psalterium chorale (1563), identifying herself in it as “the wife of Juan Pablos, printer, deceased”. This makes Gutiérrez the first woman to practice the trade in the Americas.
