Abstract: The present study aimed to examine how the character of a writer is constructed in the novel Carta à rainha louca (2019) by Maria Valéria Rezende, revisiting the issues surrounding epistolary writing by women. Thus, it sought to trace a path concerning the mentioned genre and how letters were attributed a feminine character, leading to questions about their relationship with women’s identity over time, as well as discussing themes around epistolary novel, such as characters and readers. Methodologically, this study is characterized as bibliographic research, drawing on theoretical contributions from authors such as Haroche-Bouzinac (2016), Diaz (2016), Bouvet (2006), Castells (2018), Perrot (2017), among others. The results indicate that this type of study provides an opportunity for reflection on how women are represented and how they express their voices through writing.
