Maria Lacerda de Moura was a pioneering Brazilian teacher, writer, and anarcha-feminist. She advocated for women's rights, free love, and anti-clericalism in early 20th-century Brazil. Her writings challenged traditional gender roles and promoted anarchist principles of equality. She founded progressive schools and published influential essays and pamphlets. Moura's activism connected feminist, pacifist, and vegetarian movements across Latin America. Her legacy continues to inspire modern feminist and anarchist thinkers.
