Sólo para mujeres
Continuación en cierta manera de Correo femenino, Sólo para mujeres recoge 290 crónicas publicadas, sobre todo, entre 1959 y 1961, cuando Clarice regresa a Río de Janeiro recién divorciada y comienza a trabajar escribiendo para la prensa. Venía de vivir ocho años en Washington, donde fue testigo del conservadurismo social de la década de los cincuenta y donde leyó abundante prensa femenina de la época, que resonará en sus propias columnas.
Pero a diferencia de su producción periodística para el Jornal do Brasil, Clarice Lispector no firmó con su nombre estos textos. Tras los nombres inventados de Tereza Quadros y Helen Palmer, o tras el nombre de la famosa actriz brasileña Ilka Soares, se esconde Clarice en estos artículos, en los que abordará cuestiones relacionadas con la belleza, el amor, la maternidad y la vida doméstica. En este libro divertido y práctico, un auténtico almanaque de aquella época, la escritora nos muestra que, a pesar de las conquistas actuales de la mujer, la esencia femenina permanece siempre igual.

About the author
Clarice Lispector
247 books8,379 followersClarice Lispector was a Brazilian writer. Acclaimed internationally for her innovative novels and short stories, she was also a journalist. Born to a Jewish family in Podolia in Western Ukraine, she was brought to Brazil as an infant, amidst the disasters engulfing her native land following the First World War.
She grew up in northeastern Brazil, where her mother died when she was nine. The family moved to Rio de Janeiro when she was in her teens. While in law school in Rio she began publishing her first journalistic work and short stories, catapulting to fame at age 23 with the publication of her first novel, 'Near to the Wild Heart' (Perto do Coração Selvagem), written as an interior monologue in a style and language that was considered revolutionary in Brazil.
She left Brazil in 1944, following her marriage to a Brazilian diplomat, and spent the next decade and a half in Europe and the United States. Upon return to Rio de Janeiro in 1959, she began producing her most famous works, including the stories of Family Ties (Laços de Família), the great mystic novel The Passion According to G.H. (A Paixão Segundo G.H.), and the novel many consider to be her masterpiece, Água Viva. Injured in an accident in 1966, she spent the last decade of her life in frequent pain, steadily writing and publishing novels and stories until her premature death in 1977.
She has been the subject of numerous books and references to her, and her works are common in Brazilian literature and music. Several of her works have been turned into films, one being 'Hour of the Star' and she was the subject of a recent biography, Why This World, by Benjamin Moser.

O livro engloba diversos textos escritos por Clarice Lispector em colunas femininas das décadas de 50 e 60 usando os pseudônimos Tereza Quadros, Helen Palmer e Ilka Soares.
De forma geral, o livro serviu como um bom relato histórico ilustrando as preocupações das mulheres de classe média dessas décadas e me fez agradecer e muito por termos tido grandes avanços sociais e diminuído a submissão das mulheres aos seus maridos.
Apesar dos muitos conselhos ultrapassados, os que levarei comigo são os de ser eu mesma, de me dar a devida importância, de buscar minha beleza natural, de cultivar conhecimentos gerais, de ler bons livros, de me alimentar e dormir bem, de cuidar de mim mesma.
