The Female Ruse of the Pseudonym: The Columbine of Yde Schloenbach Blumenschein

Abstract

This article presents historical-literary research on the work of São Paulo poet Yde Schloenbach Blumenschein (1882-1963). It examines the reception of her productions (considering the morality of the time) and the final rejection (1961) of the publication of her verses, which had always been forbidden. Analysis of her 12 books indicates the steep and difficult construction of literary femininity, since women were compelled to use pseudonyms as ruses to erase identity.
