Biography

Alicia Porro Freire was born on 17 May 1908 in Montevideo, to Francisco Porro and Fermina Freire.[2]

Already in the late 1920s, Porro Freire was becoming known for her poetry.[3][4] She published two books of poetry, Savia Nueva and Polen, in 1925 and 1928 respectively.[2] In 1928 she also published Eva, a collection of short stories.[2]

Porro Freire studied obstetrics at the University of the Republic in Montevideo, graduating in 1938.[1] From 1937 to 1956, she was in charge of the Children's Library No. 1 of the Uruguayan Council of Primary Education [es].[1] In 1943 she joined the first class of the Escuela de Bibliotecnia del Uruguay, graduating as a librarian in 1945, the same year that she established the Centro Orientador del Periodismo Escolar.[1]

In 1941 Porro Freire founded Compañeros, a school magazine which by the 1970s had a circulation of more than 20,000 copies, and which was praised by Martín Echegoyen in a 1959 session of the National Council of Government for its "spiritual and moral" influence.[1] She also founded a journalism course for Montevideo school students in 1945, that took place annually from 1945 to 1955.[1] Porro Freire also created the "Legion of the Little Green Soldier" (Spanish: Legión del Soldadito Verde), a public health organisation for children that taught the benefits of vaccination and the dangers of smoking and drinking.[1]

In 1969 Porro Freire published Mario, a book of poetry dedicated to her husband Mario Artigas Maciel.[1] In 1972 she registered the pseudonym "Tacón de Fierro" (Spanish for "iron heel") which she used to publish music that she had composed.[1] La Puerta Entreabierta, a collection of her poetry and song lyrics, was published in 1978.[5]

Porro Freire died on 24 November 1983, at the age of 75.[5]
