HOLLANDA, Heloisa Buarque de. A roupa da Rachel. Rev. Estud. Fem. [online]. 1992, vol.00, n.00, pp.74-96. ISSN 1806-9584.

Rachel de Queiroz was the first woman to be admitted to the Brazilian Academy of Letters, or the "House of Machado de Assis". This article is an analysis of the political and literary career of one of Brazil's most well-known writers as well as the national debate surrounding her entry into the Academy. The article is divided into seven parts, ranging from the publication of her first novel, O Quinze, in 1930, to her inaugural speech at the Brazilian Academy of Letters in 1977. However, Heloísa Buarque de Hollanda analyzes the discussion concerning what kind of uniform Rachel was to wear to her investiture at the Academy to show how conservative the "official literature" is.
