Soledad Torres Acosta was a 19th-century Spanish religious sister who founded the Servants of Mary. Born Manuela in Madrid in 1826, she sought a religious life from a young age. In 1851, she joined a small group of women led by the priest Miguel Martínez Sanz, dedicated to providing home-based care for the impoverished and the sick. Despite facing significant leadership challenges and internal conflicts within her community, she served as the superior general and expanded the order's mission internationally.
