Mort de dama (in Catalan: Death of a lady) is the first novel of the Majorcan writer Llorenç Villalonga written in 1931.

Although Villalonga mocked those who used it and didn't have a great faith in the future of the language, it is worth noting that, before writing this novel, he had already written several works in Catalan.

Nevertheless, the novelist can not hide an admiration movement towards the strong personality of the lady, that places her over the stupidity of the marquess of Collera and over the meanness of Remei Huguet or Mrs. Gradolí, or even the astonishingly elegant Maria Antònia de Bearn.

Who inspired this character was Rosa Ribera Carbonell, an aunt of Villalonga who often came to the writer's parents home, and the rarities of whom annoyed the family.

In the Spanish translation, by the author, published in the monthly magazine Brisas, that Villalonga directed and where he wrote to some extent, from the number XVIII (October 1935) to XXV (May 1936), the current tenth chapter was added «Ravings of woman Obdúlia».

Despite these authors wanting there to be a Majorcan novel in Catalan to promote, they did not accept Mort de dama as so, and they refused it for the virulent way it despised people.
