Florbela Espanca's life was marked by turmoil and unhappiness in her marriages.

Her divorce in 1923 led to the publication of another book of verses, Livro de Irmã Saudade.

This volume challenged the puritanism and patriarchy of Portugal's conservative society.

Espanca's erotic poetry was deemed decadent and immoral, shocking the bourgeoisie of Porto and Matosinhos.

However, some poets and connoisseurs saw her work as breaking new ground in understanding human experience.
