Writer and journalist Maria Teresa Horta is one of Portugal’s most prominent feminists and author of many award-winning books, but she is perhaps best known as co-author of the internationally acclaimed Novas Cartas Portuguesas (New Portuguese Letters), written with Maria Isabel Barreno and Maria Velho da Costa.
The collection of fiction, poetry, and erotica was quickly banned in 1972 by Portugal’s authoritarian government and Horta and her fellow co-authors stood trial for obscenity and “abusing the freedom of the press”.
The case of the Three Marias, as they became known, made headlines and inspired protests worldwide.
Their trial ended after the 1974 Carnation Revolution brought down the regime - and this year marks the 50th anniversary of that historic moment.
