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 passage “which they believed was a key factor” could be correctly rewritten in the passive voice as which was believed to be a key factor, without this changing the meaning and coherence of the text.

Comentário: A afirmação está ERRADA porque a reescrita proposta altera o sentido original da frase. Na voz ativa, "which they believed was a key factor" indica que um grupo específico de pessoas (as mulheres) possui a crença sobre a importância do fator mencionado. Ao mudar para a voz passiva "which was believed to be a key factor", a frase se torna impessoal, eliminando a referência ao grupo que acredita no fator, o que pode levar a uma perda de clareza e contexto sobre quem expressa essa crença. Portanto, a mudança não mantém a mesma coesão e significado do texto original.
