Ana Jansen1995

"Historical and biographical novel of Ana Joaquina Jansen Pereira of São Luís, Maranhão. Perhaps the least-known person of the Second Empire, Ana Jansen, a leader of her time, is redeemed in this narrative that captures in detail the way of life in Maranhão. Plays and poetry by Gonçalves Dias entertained local society, while republican ideas were nurtured by many"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
