Více o knize

The paper explores the challenges faced by Portuguese women writers, highlighting the historical lack of literary role models due to a male-dominated tradition. It discusses the impact of censorship under the Estado Novo dictatorship, which marginalized female authors and restricted their opportunities. The analysis emphasizes the importance of a literary heritage for modern female writers and notes that it was only after the Carnation Revolution in 1974 that they gained the freedom to express themselves creatively.
