The poet released her first major prose, which was titled "La Hija del mar," in 1859. The recognition she recieved urged her to produce other popular write-ups under that genre. Her publications such as, "Flavio" in 1861, "Ruinas" in 1866, "El caballero de las botas azules" in 1867 and "El domingo de Ramos" in 1881 all allowed her to carve a reputation for herself in the literary community.
