Zélia Gattai was a woman ahead of her time. She courageously chose to face the places dedicated to women of her time and traveled the world. Subverting conservative political and social ideologies, the author has always been on the silenced side. Her memoirist work, which consists of eleven works, relates her trajectory using an affectionate language, which opens voices to people who, with her, walked the places where she lived, in this thesis, called floors. The floor, in Zélia Gattai, is a place not only for living, but for traveling to report on the world and for crossing paths with people, whether they are known to the general public, portrayed by her in their privacy, or unknown people who, for Zélia, become stars. This work proposed a literary review of Gattai s memoirist work with a main focus on its political, historical, cultural and emotional aspects, with the main object being outline the author s intellectual profile.
