The initiative of the main newspapers to publicize their files by opening the safe is good. Someone has precisely defined that some of the events recorded by the newspapers will go down in history. The criterion for separating the memorable from the forgotten is the collective relevance of each event.
So, on the show? Or Globe 90 years? I came across the title of December 27, 1977: “The Divorce Act is passed today and comes into force. “What happened before? People could split up. In other words, they were separated by law, but they could not re-marry. Separation was a hallmark of death.
- Remember that in the 1960s.
- The neighbor of the house next door to my family broke up.
- Which I wanted to tell the backward middle class Tijucana Carioca.
- That she was a failed married woman.
- That is.
- A defective woman.
Having a broken marriage was a disgrace. Mothers and in-laws advised: wrong with him, worse without him. There was a tying social agreement that it was up to women to hug their husbands, by alcoholics, infidels and villains who were. married and, in most cases, silent.
A devoted mother of four, organizer of the June street party, every time the adults referred to her, the adjective was not marked. Hence: separate teacher, separate mother, separate organizer.

But I rushed to spend the night of prejudice, it was piano lessons with neighboring Helosa, I forgot to tell you that the woman was also a pianist, so I met a little woman who lived next door to my house. I laughed at his nice way of telling stories.
She was also sincere when she said I had no form with the piano, but don’t be sad, because everyone was born with a certain talent, who knows what my writing would be?Let me try.
Thanks to Helosa I started filling the pages of my first extracurricular notebook and thanks to her I realized that single women could be happy.
