On May 13th, 1822, a group of 186 women sent Maria Leopoldina the Letter from the Bahian Women to Her Royal Highness Dona Leopoldina, congratulating her on her role in the patriotic rulings of her husband, Prince Regent Dom Pedro. The document acknowledged the contribution made by the then princess and empress-to-be to ensuring her husband’s permanence in Brazil, which they believed was a key factor in gaining independence from Portugal. “Far more than just a letter, it is a political manifesto,” notes historian Maria de Lourdes Viana Lyra. “At that time, in Brazil, women were given a subordinate role restricted to private household and family affairs.
Outside the domestic sphere, women were made invisible, but that did not stop them from mobilizing politically to fight for independence in a variety of ways,” she states.
In addition to isolated actions led by famous figures, there were other many significant actions that are still largely unknown to the general public, more specifically, those related to instances of collective mobilization of women active in the public arena during the fight for Brazilian independence. Historian Andréa Slemian expands on the matter. “Throughout this process, many women expressed themselves through letters, manifestos, and other texts. Thus, the nascent press in Brazil played an important role, not only by publishing these women’s ideas regarding independence on editorial pages, for example, but also by serving as a mouthpiece for views supporting women’s rights,” notes Slemian.

The text mentions Maria de Lourdes Viana Lyra as one of the women who, just before Brazilian independence, were in favor of Dom Pedro I’s permanence in Brazil.

Comentário do professor
Comentário: A afirmação está errada porque o texto não menciona Maria de Lourdes Viana Lyra como uma das mulheres que apoiaram a permanência de Dom Pedro I no Brasil. Na verdade, ela é citada como uma historiadora que analisa a importância da carta enviada pelas mulheres a Maria Leopoldina e discute o papel das mulheres na luta pela independência, sem indicar sua participação direta ou apoio específico a Dom Pedro. Portanto, a afirmação confunde a função de Lyra como historiadora com a de uma participante do movimento.
