A Spanish poet; born at Almendralejo in the province of Badajoz, in 1823. About 1848 she married Horace Perry, an American. She was precocious, and published a collection of poems in 1843. Her lyrics are distinguished for melody and depth of feeling. Her few dramatic pieces had little success; but her novels and short stories,- especially "Jarilla" (1850) and "The Wheel of Misfortune" (1874),- and her little sketch of travel "From Tagus to Rhine", won popular favor.
