About the author

Carmen da Silva was defined as "a symbol of modernization of the press and of the contemporary Brazilian society". Between 1963 and 1984, uninterruptedly, she wrote the column "A arte de ser mulher" ("The art of being a woman") in Editora Abril's Claudia magazine. The column foredated some of the issues later appropriated by Brazilian feminists, like the use of pill, inclusion of women in labour market and divorce, among others. Her first book, "Setiembre", published while living in Buenos Aires, was awarded 1958's best novel by the Argentinian Association of Writers (Sociedad Argentina de Escritores, SADE).
