In The Life and Writings of Maria Teresa de Sá Nogueira, Sandra Sousa reflects on the thought and work of a woman as important as she is forgotten by contemporary historiography. With a significant role played at decisive moments in the recent history of Mozambique and Brazil, Maria Teresa de Sá Nogueira anticipates a series of issues that transcend her time and place. From different perspectives, Sandra Sousa presents diverse facets of one of the most interesting voices in the Lusophone contexts of the twentieth century.
