Magda Mamet

Magda Mamet was born in 1916 in Beau Bassin-Rose Hill to a Franco-Mauritian family, she was the daughter of Evenor Mamet, himself a poet. After studying at Sorbonne University, she returned to Mauritius and became a literary critic in a newspaper on the island, Le Cernéen [fr]. She then began to publish collections of poetry. Her first poems were published in Mauritian literary journal L'Essor.^[2] She was one of the first female writers on the island, even though she was preceded in the interwar period by another poet, Raymonde de Kervern.^[3]

Her poetry is characterised by social themes, such as injustice and hypocrisy, likely due to her attachment to Catholicism and, in turn, by the use of vers libre.^[2]
