Rosa Maria Arquimbau i Cardil (pen name, Rosa de Sant Jordi; 27 March 1909 – 28 February 1992) was a Catalan writer, journalist, feminist, and suffragist. Together with Maria Teresa Vernet i Real, Carme Montoriol i Puig, Anna Murià, Elvira Augusta Lewi, Aurora Bertrana, and Mercè Rodoreda, Arquimbau was considered a model of the "femme de lettres" and one of the six major female Catalan novelists of the 1930s.[1] Her novels and plays, which depicted modern life subjects, earned "critical and popular success".[2] While they were characterized as vivid and sometimes poignant, they were also criticized as trivial and frivolous.[3]
