Rosa Maria Arquimbau

Rosa Maria Arquimbau i Cardil was a Catalan writer, journalist, feminist, and suffragist. Together with Maria Teresa Vernet i Real, Carme Montoriol i Puig, Anna Murià, Elvira Augusta Lewi, Aurora Bertrana, and Mercè Rodoreda, Arquimbau was considered a model of the "femme de lettres" and one of the six major female Catalan novelists of the 1930s. Her novels and plays, which depicted modern life subjects, earned "critical and popular success". While they were characterized as vivid and sometimes poignant, they were also criticized as trivial and frivolous.
