Description
This is a study of narrative fiction by Portuguese woman writers immediately before the 25 April Revolution and during the post-revolution and transitions period of 1974-1986. Departing from the Three Marias a Novas Cartas Portuguesas as an influential turning point for womens writing, the study goes on to analyze novels by Teolinda Gerso, Hlia Correia, Olga Gonalves, and Ldia Jorge. An exploration of womens sexually embodied subjectivity not only offers new perspectives on Portuguese history and society but also demands a broader reconceptualization of the relationship between alterity and representation.
