Maria Teresa Horta é uma das 100 Mulheres de 2024 para a BBC

𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐚 𝐓𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐚 𝐇𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚, a nossa luminar, uma mulher belíssima de corpo inteiro que tanto nos tem dado, é uma das 100 Mulheres de 2024 para a BBC, linque nos comentários.
Continuamos "para inglês ver," deslumbrados com "the Beeb" mas, sim, todo o reconhecimento e toda a visibilidade são poucas.
Aqui sugiro o critério mais preguiçoso para ler e oferecer livros da autora (porque são todos ótimos, e todos das Publicações Dom Quixote Lda./ Grupo Leya) Vão pelos nomes! Esperemos que venha por aí um intitulado 𝐒𝐮𝐬𝐚𝐧𝐚.

Writer and journalist Maria Teresa Horta is one of Portugal’s most prominent feminists and author of many award-winning books, but she is perhaps best known as co-author of the internationally acclaimed Novas Cartas Portuguesas (New Portuguese Letters), written with Maria Isabel Barreno and Maria Velho da Costa.

The collection of fiction, poetry, and erotica was quickly banned in 1972 by Portugal’s authoritarian government and Horta and her fellow co-authors stood trial for obscenity and “abusing the freedom of the press”.

The case of the Three Marias, as they became known, made headlines and inspired protests worldwide.

Their trial ended after the 1974 Carnation Revolution brought down the regime - and this year marks the 50th anniversary of that historic moment.

It was the city garb, which we use in the Forum. And the envoys had put this on, whether to make a suitably dignified impression or out of fear – thinking that it would make the Tarentines respect them. But in fact g...
