Angela Manalang-Gloria, née en 1907 et morte en 1995, est une poétesse philippine écrivant en langue anglaise.[1][2][3]
La jeunesse
modifierAngela Marie Legaspi Manalang est née le 24 août 1907 à Guagua, dans la province philippine de Pampanga. Ses parents étaient Felipe Dizon Manalang (né à Mexico, Pampanga) et Tomasa Legaspi (qu'elle a rarement mentionnée). Sa famille s'installe plus tard dans la région de Bicol, notamment à Albay. Angela fait ses études à l'Académie Sainte-Agnès à Legazpi, d'où elle sort major de sa promotion. En dernière année, elle étudie au St. Scholastica's College à Malate (Manille), où son travail d'écriture commence à être remarqué.
Angela Manalang fait partie de la première génération d'étudiantes à l'Université des Philippines. Initialement, Angela choisit les études de droit, comme son père lui suggère. Cependant, sur les conseils de son professeur C.V. Wickers, qui devient aussi son mentor, elle change pour la littérature.
Writing
modifierIt was also during her education at the University of the Philippines that she and poet, Jose Garcia Villa developed a lifelong rivalry. Both poets vied for the position of literary editor of The Philippine Collegian, which Manalang eventually held for two successive years. In her junior year, she was quietly engaged to Celedonio Gloria whom she married. She graduated summa cum laude with the degree of Ph.B. in March 1929.
After graduation, Manalang-Gloria worked briefly for the Philippine Herald Mid-Week Magazine. However, this was cut short when she contracted tuberculosis.
Achievements
modifierShe was the author of Revolt from Hymen, a poem protesting against marital rape, which caused her denial by an all-male jury from winning the Philippine's Commonwealth Literary Awards in 1940. She was also the author of the poetry collection, Poems, first published in 1940 (and revised in 1950). The collection contained the best of her early work as well as unpublished poems written between 1934-1938. Her last poem, Old Maid Walking on a City Street can also be found in the collection. This book was her entry to the Commonwealth Literary Awards, losing to Rafael Zulueta y da Costa’s verse Like the Molave.[1]
Personal life
modifierOn March 11, 1945, her husband Celedonio and her son Ruben were attacked by a Japanese patrol in Alitagtag, Batangas. Though her husband died, Ruben was able to survive, yet his trauma had been so severe that he could not bring himself to recount the attack. This event left Manalang-Gloria a young widow with three children to support, which forced her to abandon writing and enter the abaca business, which she successfully managed.
