The collection is made to pay homage to a part of the feminist movement in Portugal – referring to the writers of As Novas Cartas Portuguesas of 1972, Maria Velho da Costa, Maria Teresa Horta and Maria Isabel Barreno – and to a personal part of the life of Raquel Poço – Maria is the name of her grandmother, mother and daughter. Thus, each of the pieces is named after the nickname of the different Marias who contributed to a structural change in Portugal.
