Abstract

The aim of this article is to introduce a short story by Júlia Lopes de Almeida which, to this date, has been absent from the critical essays on the Rio de Janeiro’s author. In order to redeem works of female authors, we suggest the reading of the short story O Último Capítulo, which was published in 1916, in Lisbon, in the magazine Atlântida. Having acknowledge the importance of newspapers and journals as privileged spaces in the divulging of works wri en by women and, therefore, in the acknowledgement of the Belle–Époque female writers, a brief introduction was made by the Luso-Brazilian magazine Atlântida which was published monthly from 1915 to 1920. Afterwards, through the prism of feminist criticism and of some concepts proposed by Roland Barthes, we will analyse the short story.
