Abstract
Este texto aborda a forma como as personagens femininas dos romances de Nuno Bragança lidam com a pressão que a sociedade exerce sobre elas, pelo facto de se comportarem como mulheres emancipadas e independentes, no contexto conservador e machista dos anos 50 e 60 do século XX. Essa situação provoca um sofrimento atroz que pode conduzir à depressão, ao consumo de álcool e drogas e, em última análise, ao suicídio.
