Doreen Micallef

Doreen Micallef (1 June 1949 - 1 December 2001) was a Maltese poet and playwright. She has been cited as an example of Malta's post World War II emergence of female authors and poets.[1] Micallef's work has also been noted for introducing poetry into Maltese plays.[2] In 2011, Micallef's home in Valletta was restored by the Maltese Academy, an organization that promotes the use of the Maltese language in Malta.[3] Upon the completion of the restoration, the home became the organization's headquarters.[3]
