"Appearing for the first time in English, these stories express the anguish and courage of women from their different classes and regions as they recognize their common restlessness and forge a new consciousness." —Booklist " . . . provocative . . . Although not all the pieces are outwardly political, there is a political edge to the book; the tone of the stories is bleak as they tell of Brazilian women's struggles with government, society, men and their own private demons. Sadlier's able translations retain a distinctive voice and style for each writer." —Publishers Weekly "Sadlier . . . has done a service to students of Comparative Literature and Women's Studies as well as to general r...
The Cambridge History of Latin American Literature is by far the most comprehensive work of its kind ever written. Its three volumes cover the whole sweep of Latin American literature (including Brazilian) from pre-Colombian times to the present, and contain chapters on Latin American writing in the USA. Volume 3 is devoted partly to the history of Brazilian literature, from the earliest writing through the colonial period and the Portuguese-language traditions of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries; and partly also to an extensive bibliographical section in which annotated reading lists relating to the chapters in all three volumes of The Cambridge History of Latin American Literature are presented. These bibliographies are a unique feature of the History, further enhancing its immense value as a reference work.

Neste ensaio inédito, baseado em larga pesquisa e em uma série de entrevistas, Heloisa Buarque de Hollanda analisa o papel das mulheres em campos chave da cultura brasileira, como a literatura, o cinema novo e a MPB, entre os anos 1950 e 1980, evidenciando atuações pioneiras de artistas que fizeram o feminismo avançar, mesmo sem, muitas vezes, se dar conta dessa fundamental atuação. Afinal, é comum que a militância feminista seja vista separada da força política da produção cultural das mulheres. Nessa recuperação histórica acompanhada de uma afiada análise crítica, Heloisa – que tem, ela mesma, um papel de destaque na construção de repertórios para as lutas feministas – traz à luz esse elenco de mulheres que impuseram a presença feminina e as pautas feministas na cena artística e mudaram definitivamente a cultura do país. São nomes como Elis Regina, Leci Brandão, Rita Lee e Joyce Moreno; Carmen da Silva, Carolina Maria de Jesus, Ana Cristina Cesar, Marina Colasanti e Marilene Felinto; Adélia Sampaio, Helena Solberg, Vera Figueiredo, Eunice Gutman e muitas outras que têm seu pioneirismo analisado com o olhar afiado e o texto saboroso de Heloisa.
