She has released several books.
She was a columnist for the Folha de S.Paulo newspaper for twelve years until she was fired in 2013 a few months after generating controversy by declaring in her column that New York was no longer fun when "even the porter" could travel and that domestic servants were better off without the rights proposed by the "Domestic PEC".
