Book synopsis
Contemporary Brazilian women writers are producing solid, well written works that demonstrate concern for their female, traditional and Brazilianheritage. By applying a syncretic methodology of feminist literary criticism to three works published in 1980 and 1981, this study examines thecontemporary female voice in current Brazilian narrative. While differing in theme and expression, As Parceiras, O animal dos motéis and Ojogo de Ifa are representative works of contemporary Brazilian women's fiction.

Reviews
«The study ... clearly documents the development of Brazilian narrative from its beginnings to the present. Quinlan also adds importantinformation on the relationship of Brazilian women's writing to the theory of feminist criticism. A much-needed study in this area particularlybecause the very writers chosen allow the reader to understand the rich tradition in Brazilian women's fiction.» (M. Agosin, Choice)
