Brazilian modernism was marked by irreverence and the manifestation of several authors both in the arts and in literature. However, there are some who presented such revolutionary ideas and yet remained in oblivion. Thus, the present article aims to bring to light studies on two little-known writers of the Brazilian modernism: Madame Chrysanthème, pseudonym of Cecília Bandeira de Mello Rebelo de Vasconcelos, and Ercília Nogueira Cobra. This bibliographical research is grounded on Gender and Cultural Studies, in line with the rescue of women writers of the early twentieth century. The basic theoretical framework are the works of Mott (1986), Euletério (2022), Nascimento (2021) and Daflon and Sorj (2021), in order to highlight the importance of the study of these authors and their silencing in Brazilian literary historiography.
