Life
Life
Hortensia Bengescu was born in Ivești, Galați County, on 8 December 1876. She was the daughter of General Dimitrie Bengescu and of Zoe (born Ștefănescu). She attended high-school in Bucharest and, aged 20, she married the magistrate Nicolae Papadat but her literary career was delayed because her husband was transferred from town to town (Turnu Măgurele, Buzău, Focșani, Constanța) and because she had to take care of their four children: Nen, Zoe, Marcela and Elena. She died on 5 March 1955.
