Maria Teresa Horta, the influential Portuguese feminist writer known for challenging the societal norms regarding women, passed away at the age of 87. She was celebrated for her role in the landmark 1972 book 'Novas Cartas Portuguesas' which bravely addressed women's issues and sexuality in a conservative Portugal. This book led to severe repercussions under the dictatorship, including arrests of the three authors. Horta's legacy continues as her work remains an important part of global feminist literature and historical advocacy for women's rights and freedom of expression.
Horta was a pivotal figure in advocating for women's rights in Portugal, using her literary voice to challenge societal limitations and inspire a global feminist movement.
The 1972 publication of "Novas Cartas Portuguesas" not only sparked outrage from the dictatorship but also served as a fundamental text for feminist discourse worldwide.
