In the fourth chapter, I first turn my attention to Aracy, who remained in Germany until Brazil entered the war in 1942. I examine the important changes that her migratory experience brought her as she prepared to start a new life in Brazil, eight years after her departure. Then, I go on to discuss her reunion with Margarethe in São Paulo and the project she built around her romantic partnership with João Guimarães Rosa. The friendship between the two women again confirmed its ability to stand the test of time. In Aracy’s life with Guimarães Rosa, she once again proved herself “intrepid”: although legally deprived of the possibility to marry officially for a second time, this did not stop her from living with him. Following the thread of the friendship between the two women, it was the double comparison between their respective Brazilian lives and between each of their lives before and after transatlantic crossing that interested me: Margarethe now living as an immigrant, Aracy back at home, but living in a novel way. The new configurations of their married lives invite us to reflect on gender roles, a question equally relevant to the other women in the group.
