Graça Castanheira wrote an opinion piece titled "The second woman," in which she reflects on changes in her body. According to the author, for decades the body fulfilled everything she asked of it, but there came a moment when it began returning her requests with a message: "not anymore, or not like this." This text appears to address the feminine experience of aging and possibly menopause or midlife changes. The reflection suggests an acceptance or adaptation to a new phase of feminine life, marked by physical limitations that did not exist before.
