Her Life Story
Manuela Nuñez de Almeida was born in London, the capital city of England. Her family had a special background: they were Sephardic Jews. This means their ancestors originally came from Spain and Portugal.
Manuela was the head of a very smart and educated family. They were part of a group of writers and thinkers who gathered around a wise Jewish leader named Haham David Nieto.
Her son, Mordecai Nuñez de Almeida, was a supporter of a famous Spanish poet named Daniel Israel López Laguna. Manuela herself, along with her two daughters, Benvenida Cohen Belmonte and Sara de Fonseca Pina y Pimentel, also wrote poetry. They wrote Spanish verses that were included at the beginning of Laguna's important work.
