This paper aims to investigate how Anne Gilchrist, an important historical figure who played an extremely relevant role in the dissemination of Walt Whitman’s poetic work Leaves of Grass, “abandons” the real world and is made a character in the “world of text”, from the moment she becomes the object of biographical writing in Anne Gilchrist and Walt Whitman (1900), authored by Elizabeth Porter Gould, establishing some intertextual relations with Walt Whitman’s Mrs. G.: A Biography of Anne Gilchrist (1991), by Marion Walker Alcaro. For that purpose, a review of the discussions surrounding women’s authorship writing in a context in which women are both subjects and objects of the representation of biographical narrative is conducted.
