The Three Marias
None
New Portuguese Letters
Three modern Maria's weave tales, poems and meditations about modern women's lives.
Novas cartas portuguesas
Este livro tem tanto de gênio literário quanto de resistência ao Portugal fascista de 1971. Partindo do clássico Lettres Portugaises, as "três Marias" reclamam o direito à plenitude da existência política, econômica, social, cultural e sexual das mulheres. E fazem-no de uma forma, a todos os níveis, revolucionária. Subvertendo o conceito tradicional de autoria, as três amigas vão se escrevendo cartas, contos, ficções, poemas, ensaios, que compõem um todo dificilmente categorizável e extremamente inovador.

These studies are followed by an appendix on the background of women's rights and feminism in Portugal. Althou...
The Portuguese Nun
"This study describes and analyzes cultural and literary mythology surrounding the figure of the seventeenth-century nun Mariana Alcoforado as the presumed author of the celebrated collection of love letters that originally appeared in 1669 in French under the title of Lettres portugaises (known in their many English editions as Portuguese Letters or Letters of a Portuguese Nun). Ostensibly written by a nun cloistered in a provincial Portuguese convent to her departed lover, an officer in the French army, they are nowadays generally reputed to have been a literary fake authored by a seventeenth-century French writer." "The Portuguese Nun describes the foundation and development of the myth o...
