Recovering women from millennia of historiographical invisibility has been one of the greatest efforts undertaken by feminist critics in recent decades. Questioning canons, identifying and explaining silences, distortions, and ambiguities, historians, writers, and literary figures base their studies on a feminine perspective, seeking to break with the idea of a masculine universality in history. Here, we present the writer Rachel de Queiroz, who writes about women, giving them voice, power, and protagonism. On the other hand, we also present the woman Rachel, who, through her autobiography, autofiction, and writing, manifests parallels between creator and created, similarities and dissimilarities between the woman-author and the women-characters.
