She was educated in the Colegio del Sagrado Corazón.

Bunge married Manuel Gálvez. Some of her first verses which were published in magazines and newspapers, were in the French language. Her first volume of poems, Simplement, appeared in Paris in 1911. In 1933, in collaboration with her sister, Julia, Bunge published El arca de Noé; in 1918, she issued a second book of verse in French, La nouvelle moisson, in Buenos Aires; and later, she published Historia y novena de Nuestra Senora de Lourdes.[1]
