ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Luísa Dacosta

Luísa Dacosta was born in 1927 in Vila Real de Trás-os-Montes. She graduated from the Faculty of Letters of Lisbon in History and Philosophy. But her "Universities" were the women of A-Ver-O-Mar, who wither at thirty, live and die resigned to having children and losing them, in the routine of slave labor, without pay, beaten like beasts of burden ("He doesn't beat me much, just what I need") and who, even accustomed to it, through generations of training, sometimes cannot bear it and commit suicide (oh! Our Lady of the Snows! And you allow it!) after childbirth, when the world begins again in a child's cry! To the women of A-Ver-O-Mar she "owes" the language at the level of colloquial speech. She was a teacher in the preparatory cycle and also owes something to her students: having stayed on the side of dreams. This motivated her to write for children. He passed away on February 15, 2015.
