Abstract

The author studies in the Brazilian patriarchal and slave society of the 19th century, three women writers that defied their cultural milieu by taking up in their books the problem of the abolition of slavery. The article aims at redeeming their books from the forgetfulness to which they were condemned. The author begins by studing the book Ursula by Maria Firmina dos Reis (1859), the first abolitionist novel written in Brazil. Next is focused the book The slave girl (1877) by the same author. Another pioneer woman writer was Narcisa Amália an abolitionist militant in the Brazilian press. She published A Familia Medeiros, in which she describes with provocative minutiae a slave revolt in a coffee plantation.
