It is also sought to associate the narrative with the life of the writer and her and her professional trajectory until being recognized in the literary milieu in the 1970s, arguing the role of women in literature (as author) and the importance of the transformations that occurred in Brazil in the late nineteenth century and in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. It seeks to it is evident, also, in the work the factors that affect Rachel's encounter with a literature, relating them the figure of woman in society. The bibliographical research was based on theorists that debate feminine questions, as Norma Telles (2002), Maria Rocha Coutinho (1994) and Michelle Perrot (2001, 2017), as well as who discuss the children's and youth literature Laura Sandroni.
