Biography

Born in São Pedro,[6] she made her debut in the literary field in the 1920s when she published two essays in the magazine Papel e Tinta. Around 1952 she contributed to the newspaper O Estado de S. Paulo. In her personal life, Teixeira was first married to Ermelindo Scavone, who forbade her from publishing her writings.[7] She had a second marriage with the academic José Geraldo Vieira (1897-1977), whose son Rubens Teixeira Scavone (1925–2007) also was a member of the Paulista Academy and won the Jabuti Prize for Best Novel in 1973 with Clube de Campo.[8]
