The firsts years.- Born in 1829, daughter of José Veintimilla and Jerónima Carrión and Antepara, wealthy residents in Quito was a poet and writer.

Gets married.- At the age of 18, she married in Quito with Dr. Sixto Antonio Galindo y Oroña, doctor, native of Nueva Granada. The dowry of marriage was stipulated in 5,000 pesos that were given to him by the bride. He for making him continue his literary education allowing the reading of all kinds of books to which the colony had banned for various reasons. Become a mother.- She gave birth to a son whom she called Santiago, being godmother Rosa Ascázubi, García Moreno's first wife. Shortly afterwards Dr. Galindo traveled to Guayaquil called by his conquered Colonel Sebastián Medina, married to Josefina Veintimilla, Dolores's only sister; So the marriage and his tender child settled in the main port. Of this time are two compositions "To Carmen, sending a jasmine of the corporal" and "To the same friend" both directed to Carmen Perez Antepara, poetess; And a good part of his poetry that translates "the dissatisfaction of a heart that was not loved to the measure of what he loved" and for that reason wrote "Complaints", "Sufferings", "Aspiration", "Desire" and "Dislike" within Of the romantic genre so in vogue at the time.

Thus, someone advised Dolores to answer Marchan with another sheet that came out on May 5, with the pompous title of "Other campanillazo". She was found dead on May 23, 1857.
His work was almost completely lost, Little was left of his poetry because Dolores had burned most of it, sonnets were saved almost miraculously and were collected by his friend Antonio Marchán.
