Ieva Simonaitytė
Died in 1978
Ieva Simonaitytė was born on 23 January 1897 in Vanagai, in Lithuania Minor, then Prussian. A bone tuberculosis contracted in childhood kept her away from school, and she taught herself. A seamstress, then a typist and translator in Klaipėda, she was able to live by her pen after her first novel. Settled in Kaunas in 1939, then in Vilnius in 1963, she produced other novels and an autobiographical trilogy. She died in Vilnius on 27 August 1978; her summer house in Priekulė is now a museum.
