The first Brazilian woman to lead what can legitimately be called a career as an author, Júlia Valentina de Silveira Lopes de Almeida was a novelist and playwright, an advocate for women's education and other progressive social reform, and an all-around intellectual. Though she was immensely popular in the late 19th and early 20th Century, her works were forgotten soon after her death, largely due to the country's literary trajectory toward modernism. Recently, however, scholars and readers have begun to unearth and rediscover the pleasures and technical merits of the vast and diverse body of literature she left behind.
