Alicia Jurado (May 22, 1922 - May 9, 2011) was an Argentine writer and academic. She spoke English and French, she knew Italian and understood German. Although most of her reading was done in English, rather than in French or Spanish, she wrote her works in the latter language. She was a full member of the Academia Argentina de Letras, a member of the Royal Spanish Academy, and a corresponding member of the Academia Chilena de la Lengua. Jurado was a collaborator and friend of Victoria Ocampo and Jorge Luis Borges.[1]
