The book "Inesquecíveis" seeks to reclaim and celebrate the poetic legacy of women in Brazil, showcasing the works of female poets from the past four hundred years. Compiled by Ana Rüsche and Lubi Prates, both recognized poets themselves, the collection is a response to the historical neglect of women's literary contributions. It aims to provide visibility to voices that have often been ignored in a literary landscape predominantly focused on male authors.

In recent history, literature has frequently centered on male figures, leading to a skewed perception of who has shaped Brazilian poetry. "Inesquecíveis" serves as an antidote to this narrowed perspective by inviting readers to explore the significant yet overlooked contributions of women. The editors emphasize that many of these poets have been purposefully forgotten, which reflects a deeper societal issue of sexism and gender bias that has permeated literary history.

The authors argue that this collective amnesia surrounding women's poetry is not merely historical oversight; it reflects a subtle form of violence against women and their intellectual contributions. From the colonial period, when women's voices were stifled by patriarchal structures, to the present day, the book highlights the enduring challenges women face in being recognized for their achievements. "Inesquecíveis" not only restores these forgotten voices but also encourages a reevaluation of the literature we engage with, pushing for a more inclusive understanding of Brazil's poetic heritage.
