Description

Contemporary Portugal offers a mixture of social revolution, literary experiment and feminist practice. Since the revolution in 1974, the country has produced a large number of writings by and about women. In fact, for the first time in Portuguese history, there are at least as many women as men writing books. This book presents an analysis of texts by the "Three Marias", Feranda Botelho, Lidia Jorge, Helia Correia and Teolinda Gersao. It investigates what Portuguese literary women have to say about their culture. In addition to showing how specific works of fiction are inflected by gender and ideology, Sadlier also presents a brief historical account of feminism in Portugal.
