Biography

Larriva's birthplace is Lima, where she also died. However, she lived for several years in Guayaquil, Ecuador, where she did most of her writing. Together with Carolina Freyre de Jaimes, she was among the first generation of Peruvian female writers who overcame the criticism and prejudice of the society of her time. She combatted the primitive belief that women should be traditional housewives and not pursue any sort of profession. This concept in the 1800s was considered ahead of her time. Upon her death, it was said: "She was a watchtower of feminism in America. Of advanced ideas, of noble and delicate features, of exquisite culture, of innate goodness, and of a warm heart.” Lastenia Larriva outlived her second husband, the Ecuadorian poet Numa Pompilio Llona (1832-1907), who was one of the most popular and well-read poets in Ecuador at the time. Her first husband, Adolfo De La Jara Bermúdez died in a battle between Peru and Chile (Miraflores war Jan. 15th, 1881). She built a connection with her second husband, based on poetry and being a widower/widow alike. Amidst the mourning, they found partnership and comfort.[2]
