Biography
The daughter of a Creole mother who was enslaved and an unknown father, she was born free in Güines, Cuba, on July 24, 1856.[1] She did not marry until 1912, when she wed Cecilio Larrondo.[1] Fragas died in Güines in 1936 at the age of 79.[1]
Writing
Her work was published in various newspapers and journals including El Pueblo Libre and El Sufragista, as well as in Minerva, a magazine dedicated to black women for which she was a founding editor. She is believed to be the first Afro-Hispanic writer to talk about race in her poetry. In her work, she opposed slavery and supported racial equality and national independence for all Cubans.[2][3]
A collection of her work, Ofrendas Mayabequinas, was published in 1926 with a foreword by Valentin Cuesta Jimenez.[4]
Recognition
After her death, the town council of Güines named a street in her honour. The street was renamed after the Cuban Revolution and no longer exists.[1]
