A.k.a. Emília Moncorvo Bandeira de Melo
Emília Moncorvo Bandeira de Melo (1852–1910) was a Brazilian writer who commonly wrote under the pseudonym Carmen Dolores. Other pseudonyms she used included Júlia de Castro and Leonel Sampaio.She was born either in São Paulo or Rio de Janeiro (historians have disputed which one), and lived during her writing career in Rio, where she wrote regularly for the newspapers O País and Correio da Manhã. Her weekly column in O País featured crônicas (literally "chronicles"), brief nonfiction pieces about Brazilian life, which were likely her most famous writings. The crônicas demonstrated Dolores's activism for women's rights, arguing for fair wage legislation, educational reform, and the repealing of anti-divorce laws in Brazil.
