A Rainha do Ignoto, published in Brazil in 1899, and The Mists of Avalon, in the United States, in 1979, are two pioneering novels, two utopias that praise women who live in mythical communities formed by them on magical islands, growing together, practicing sisterhood and solidarity and living without men – who even despise their spiritually evolved lifestyle, but are unable to overcome it. Both books broke paradigms and established a new order: the first inaugurated Fantasy Literature in Brazil; the second, reversed the reinterpretation of the Arthurian legend forever. They had to be punished for that. Rejection, silencing and erasure were some of the many consequences for their authors, Emília Freitas and Marion Zimmer Bradley, respectively. In this article, a literature review, a basic research with an exploratory objective, we deal with those issues based on scholars such as Câmara (2016); Castro (2021); Catrib, Paula and Câmara (2023); Oliveira (2007) and Sousa (2022), among others. We conclude that the repudiation and ostracism that this dossier deals with, channeling its scope to the Northeastern Brazilian female writers undermined by our Literary Canon, goes beyond this border and ends up in other lands, but with the same problem: misogyny in the literary environment.
