Bunge was a student at a teacher's college in
Buenos Aires, the daughter of Ricardo and María Teresa Cavallo. She met Argentine philosopher
Mario Bunge while auditing one of his courses, and they eloped in late 1958 (as his second marriage). Bunge earned her Ph.D. from the
University of Pennsylvania in 1966. Her dissertation,
Categories of Set Valued Functors, was jointly supervised by
Peter J. Freyd and
William Lawvere. When she was offered a postdoctoral research position at McGill in 1966, her husband followed her there, and they remained in Canada afterwards. She became an assistant professor at McGill in 1969, was promoted to full professor in 1985, and retired as a professor emeritus in 2003. ==Books==
