Life

Fagundes Telles (real name: Lygia de Azevedo Fagundes) is the daughter of the lawyer Durval de Azevedo Fagundes and his wife Maria do Rósario, a pianist.

Between 1940 and 1945, Fagundes Telles studied law and was able to complete this course very successfully. But since she had no opportunities as a woman to work as a lawyer, she earned her living as a journalist.

In 1954 her first novel Ciranda de Pedra was published . In 1955 she went on a long trip to and through France and Italy . In 1960 she also traveled extensively in the USSR and the People's Republic of China . In her best-known novel As Meninas (1973), the author tells the story of three young women under the military dictatorship in the 1970s. In 1976, she and others signed the Manifesto against the Dictatorship ( Manifesto dos Mil ).

Lygia Fagundes Telles sees herself as a politically committed writer and voice of the third world. Since 1982 it has been a member of the Academia Paulista de Letras (seat 28). Alongside Ana Maria Machado and Zélia Gattai , Fagundes Telles was the third woman to be accepted as a member of the Academia Brasileira de Letras (seat 16) in 1985 , and in 1987 she was accepted into the Academia das Ciências de Lisboa , the Portuguese academy of science.
