Resumo:
Countless works about the history of Brazilian coffee production have ignored the presence of women in every segment of production. With no documents, photos, books, receipts or paintings that prove the importance of work of these brave women in both rural and urban areas; it is almost impossible to revisit this important past. It is as if they were invisible, as I discussed in EP 02 História das Mulheres do Café (in Portuguese) with the Historian Ana Luiza Martins.
For this reason, IWCA Brasil in partnership with 22 research institutions and 44 authors, published for the first Women in Coffee book in 2017! Our guests, the organic coffee producer Brígida Salgado and the Embrapa Café researcher Cristina Arzabe describe how this collaborative work was done with a limited budget in this Portuguese language episode.
