"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."ÃÂ âBooklist
"... 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 womenâs struggles with government, society, men and their own private demons. Sadlierâs able translations retain a distinctive voice and style for each writer." âPublishers Weekly
"Sadlier... has done a service to students of Comparative Literature and Womenâs Studies as well as to general readers who sincerely want to know what literature of quality ÃÂis being written in that all-too-rarely studied Portuguese language of Brazil."ÃÂ âRevista de Estudios Hispanicos
"The pieces... convey... the evolution in the consciousness of the writers, their sense of themselves, and their place in society as well as the changes affecting Brazilâs political climate and society at large during this century."ÃÂ âReview of Contemporary Fiction
"A superb addition to the increasing number of anthologies dedicated to Brazilian literature." âChoice
"A must for any modern literary collection." âWLW Journal
