primary school teacher, who produced a copious work of an intimist nature (including
poetry, Um Dia e Outro Dia, 1936; a
diary, Solidão, 1939; and prose
fiction either of an autobiographical kind, Voltar
atrás, para quê?, 1956, or centred on a matrical character, Esta
Cidade!). Her work did, however, link confessionalism to concrete social
problems, arising from an everyday way of life that she analyses in its most
common details, displaying these in a way that is typical of passive and
long-suffering female characters.
