Posthumous works
She held a Chair in Literature at the Women's University. A second volume, entitled La otra isla de los canticos, with a prologue by Emilio Oribe and containing several poems taken from her unpublished manuscripts, appeared in 1959 shortly after her brother's death. The modern Poesías Completas contains 112 poems. She was also a musician, and the Lauro Ayestarán collection contains one of her manuscript scores with verses and music. Contrasting myths have been built around her life. She has been idealised as, on the one hand, a type of consumptive virgin but, on the other hand, a Sandesque cigar-smoking crossdresser notorious for practical jokes.
