Quoting a little of the preface written by journalist Cláudia Mello: “Mulheres de Taubaté is more than a book, it is a memorial of women's achievements, from a time when attending school and voting were not their prerogatives, until winning the skies, the stages and its deserved space in all areas of society. The book is also an excellent source of research, due to the wealth of dates, names and events”.

With due care not to give too much spoiler, my dear friends, I suggest you get your copy soon, because mine is already guaranteed and with the author's own dedication!
