Book, D. Benedita, Clara dos Anjos and other women[LS]

Language: Brazilian Portuguese. This anthology brings together twenty short stories starring female characters by two of the greatest Brazilian writers of the 19th century. They are extraordinary narratives of love and lovelessness, of encounters and disagreements, of drama and comedy — and, not by chance, stories that sharpen our conscience. A diverse and at the same time revealing panorama of the condition of women in the 19th century, which helps us reflect on the society we live in today.
