Vicenta Antonia Moguel Elguezábal (Azcoitia, 1782 - Abanto, 1854) was a Spanish writer and translator who was the first woman to write in the Basque language.

He was a scholar and author of the first novel in the Basque language, Peru Abarca (1802), and he was a friend of Felix Maria de Samaniego (1745-1801), a Spanish writer famous for his fables.

[1][3] In addition to her published fables, she also authored other texts, such as the dedication to Don Victor Munibe and Aranguren and the prologue to the Basque reader.

[3] Moguel mentions the need for morality in her prologue in Basque, stating that:"When I was a child I listened to the folk tales marveling and crazy with joy.

So, if those stupid tales without any teaching gave me such satisfaction before reaching the age of reason, how much more would my heart be softened when I later read the good stories?
