Throughout the times, women and mass culture have always been related to each other. Andreas Huyssen brought them together by showing the way they both threatened XIXth century`s masculine and bourgeois world. In this commented screenplay, based on the book Tantos Anos, by Maria Luíza de Queiroz and Rachel de Queiroz, the novel Memorial de Maria Moura, by Rachel de Queiroz, and its homonymous miniseries, adapted from the novel and aired by TV Globo in 24 episodes in the year of 1994, we can witness - in the form of a television show - the way how the writer Rachel de Queiroz, a woman who lived very long, and always among the powerful and intellectual people of her time, ended up being inspired by her own trajectory to create that who would become her last heroine: Maria Moura. Taken to television screen, the miniseries Memorial de Maria Moura, even when it was (which is a typical trait for this medium) the result of a process in which authorship is shattered, brings a heroine who didn`t lose the characteristic that approaches her the most to her creator: the attraction to power.
