About Maria Elsa da Rocha
Maria Elsa da Rocha (1924-2005) was one of the last Portuguese-language Goan writers. A primary school teacher by profession, her short stories appeared in what survived of the Portuguese-language print and broadcast media after the integration of Goa into India in 1961. In 2006, from the 25 or so short stories she produced, a selection was published in Goa under the title Vivências Partilhadas [Shared Lives].
