Ángela Figuera Aymerich (October 30, 1902 in Bilbao – April 2, 1984 in Madrid) was a Basque writer.[1]

Due to her mother's poor health, Figura spent much of her childhood raising her eight younger siblings. She attended primary school and went on to secondary school as one of five girls among one hundred boys. Despite her father's resistance, Figura went on to study literature at University in Valladolid. [2]

A poet, she was a member of Generation 1927.[3]
