Description
Senhora é um dos mais importantes clássicos da literatura brasileira, e o terceiro livro do mesmo autor que analisa a situação da mulher na sociedade brasileira do século XIX. Através da história de amor e separação entre Aurélia e Fernando, o autor critica a decadência da elite cortesã, a importância dada ao dinheiro e os casamentos por interesse. O romance, dividido em quatro partes, reflete este objetivo em sua própria estrutura, em que imita uma transação comercial: preço, quitação, posse, resgate.Senhora is one of the most important classics of Brazilian Literature, and the third book by this author about the situation of women in the 19th century Brazilian society.

The novel, divided in four parts, satirizes these relationships in its own structure, by having its parts called: price, purchase, possession, solvency. (Summary by Leni)
