Before starting to write for the theatre, she had translated The Happy Journey to Trenton and Camden by Thornton Wilder, which was staged by Carlos Kroeber in Belo Horizonte in 1957.

This, and two subsequent plays, A Escolha and O Quarto Mundo, were purchased by TV Globo to serve as the script for a series of programmes directed by Oliveira.

As Moças elevated Isabel Câmara's status within the group of theatrical authors, the so-called 1969 Generation, who were embracing the counterculture and debating issues of sexual freedom in the context of the military dictatorship in Brazil.

[1][2][3][4] During the 1970s, at a time of censorship in Brazil, Câmara became close to other writers and poets active in Rio de Janeiro, who became known as the Mimeograph Generation.

Some of her poems were included in the anthology prepared by Heloísa Buarque de Hollanda, called 26 Poetas Hoje (26 poets today), published in 1975.
