Wasserman’s series of essays is exactly what it says on the cover: five chapters devoted to five women writers from Brazil, always discussed with an awareness of how they can be seen as “marginal” through, for example, their gender, their background, their ethnic origin, the language in which they write or wrote, and their cultural impact in Brazil and abroad.
