A Princesa Austríaca que Lutou Pela Independência Mais que Dom Pedro I | Leopoldina

On the day Brazil decided to separate from Portugal, the person who signed the document and presided over the meeting was not Dom Pedro I. It was his wife. Leopoldina was an Austrian archduchess, Napoleon's sister-in-law, who arrived in Rio de Janeiro without speaking Portuguese and ended up at the center of Brazil's Independence process. This is the story of the first empress of the Brazilian Empire, governing the country during the most decisive days of 1822 — one of the most underrated figures in our history. All this happened five days before the Cry of Ipiranga, in a Brazil that was still deciding whether it would be born as a nation.
