Sofia Serra e Moura

Poet and short story writer. After studying at the Escola Normal de Coimbra, she settled in Luanda as a primary school teacher at a private college. She contributed poetry and short stories, signing with the pseudonym Aifos, to some newspapers in the Angolan capital and, shortly before her death, gathered her unpublished poems into a volume printed in Lisbon in 1956. Posthumously, her short stories were also collected in a book. She is represented in Maria da Conceição Nobre's Antologia de Poesias Angolanas (Nova Lisboa, today Huambo, 1957).
