Ester de Lemos, sometimes written as Esther, (born 1929) is a university professor, translator and Portuguese writer.
She was the seventh and last daughter of Ester Guerne and Jaime Garcia de Lemos, who had fought in World War I.
In 1963, she interrupted her teaching to work on a doctorate, but fell out with her supervisor, Jacinto Prado Coelho, who was president of the Portuguese Society of Writers, and did not complete the thesis.
During her term in the National Assembly, she was on committees concerned with education, popular culture and spiritual and moral interests.
[1][2] In her research Lemos paid particular attention to the works of the Portuguese writers Camilo Castelo Branco and José Maria de Eça de Queirós and wrote prefaces to editions of their work.
