Bronė Buivydaitė (Mičiulienė) (8 December 1895 – 29 January 1984) was a Lithuanian teacher, poet, and writer also known under her pen name Tyrų Duktė.
[1] Bronė Buivydaitė was born on 8 December 1895 in Svėdasai, Lithuania in the family of a small craftsman.
[3] From 1918 to 1930, she returned to Lithuania and worked as a teacher of the Lithuanian language in Skoudas, Panevėžys, and Anykščiai.
From 1925–1934 Buivydaitė taught at the Panevėžys teachers' seminary, where she gathered a group of drama lovers and directed about 10 stage productions.
In 1948 Buivydaitė permanently returned to her native Anykščias, where she hid with friends and nursed her seriously ill mother.
The grave is marked by a memorial stone with a portrait bas-relief and the epitaph: „Išėjau į šviesą, kad praregėčiau tiesą“ ("I went into the light to see the truth").
[7] Some of Buivydaitė’s poems were set to music by Vladas Jakubenas, Oleksandra Dirvyanskaite, and other Lithuanian composers, and became songs.
A small sculpture garden has been established and expanded in the homestead, children's literature festivals are organized here, the writer's works are performed, and the Anykštėnai creative bookstore "Auksinis batelis" is open.
