Carta a Uma Jovem Escritora takes as its starting point the rediscovery of five Portuguese women writers who, in different ways, are far from receiving the attention they deserve, in order to examine the mechanisms that have led to so many women’s voices being forgotten. Olga Gonçalves, Maria Cecília Correia, Alice Sampaio, Graça Pina de Morais and Maria Amélia Neto. Five outstanding writers, seen through the eyes of a contemporary writer in search of a missing literary history.
