Her father died at the age of 35, when she was only 5. Although he came from a relatively wealthy family, he had fallen out with his mother who wanted him to pursue a law career rather than study medicine. This left his wife in a condition of some poverty on his death. Salgueiro started high school in Lisbon but, two years later, her family moved to

In 1956 to 1957, Salgueiro and her husband worked as interns at the Department of Natural Philosophy of the
