Since there are many variables in the relation between women and edition, this text dialogues with the following questions: What have we invested in doing? “A feminist history of edition or a history of feminist edition? A history of women publishers? A history of feminist publishing houses?” Anyway, in Brazil there is a lack of serious investigation about these matters. The broad perspective of our project has to do with women publishers in general, whatever editorial line or theme they come to practice. In this specific text we try somehow to answer a number of questions related to Brazilian women publishers that choose an editorial line connected with feminism.Based in documental and bibliographical  research, we present a narrative about the publishing house Mulheres and one of its founding members, professor Zahidé Muzart, and we try as well to recompose its catalogue, as completely as possible, based on data found in the books themselves and in research on digital collections.
