Maria Domènech i Escoté (Alcover, Alt Camp, 1877 — Barcelona, 1952) was a novelist, poet and social activist from the Catalonia region of Spain.
Later, she wrote with the philosopher Tomàs Sucona, painted with the painter Hermenegildo Vallvé, and learned music with Father Joan Roca, because she refused to go to the Carmelite school.
[1] For Feminal (a feminist publication), she had become a local correspondent when she lived in Tarragona, and when the Cañellas family moved to Barcelona, she became a collaborator with the magazine, which disappeared in 1917.
"[3] One of her first appearances in public as a social activist was on behalf of the Board of Ladies of the League Against Tuberculosis in Girona, in a distribution of awards to mothers who had breastfed their children longer.
In 1915, Doménech published a collection of poems and narratives entitled Verso i prosa, as well as the novels Neus (1914), Contrallum (1917), Golden Toads (1919) and Inheritance (1925).
